Median Sternotomy Closure Using an Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Suture Following Thymectomy in a Dog: A Case Report.
Article in Veterinary sciences, 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 10-year-old castrated male Chihuahua weighing 3.06 kg was presented with a chronic, progressively worsening cough of five months' duration. Diagnostic imaging, including thoracic radiography and computed tomography, identified a well-defined cranial mediastinal mass consistent with a thymic tumor. Surgical excision was performed via median sternotomy with complete thymectomy. Following tumor removal, sternal closure was achieved using a non-absorbable ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture material (FiberWire
