Neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome secondary to an unilateral cervical rib in a poodle mix.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A 2-year-old spayed female poodle mix was evaluated for persistent intermittent right thoracic limb lameness and pain refractory to oral analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications. Orthopedic and neurologic physical examinations localized discomfort to the right shoulder and cervical region. Orthogonal right shoulder radiographs did not detect any abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging of the right brachial plexus revealed an anomalous bone structure at the level of the right thoracic inlet. Orthogonal cervical radiographs confirmed this finding. Surgical exploration of the right thoracic inlet identified a vestigial rib, extending from the right first rib and compressing adjacent axillary nerves, which was surgically excised via partial costectomy. This unilateral anomaly, analogous to cervical ribs described in human medicine, remains rarely documented in dogs. While rare, neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome secondary to cervical ribs should be considered in dogs with neck pain and refractory thoracic limb lameness.
