Alterations in Erythrocyte and Platelet Characteristics Are Poor Indicators of Metastasis in Dogs with Carcinoma or Sarcoma: A Preliminary Study.

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
Cancer is a leading cause of death in humans and dogs. Several erythrocyte and platelet characteristics (indices and morphology) have shown promise as indicators of metastasis in humans. Similar studies have not been performed in dogs. This study evaluated erythrocyte and platelet characteristics measured on the Advia 2120i in 59 tumor-bearing dogs with carcinoma or sarcoma. Tumor-bearing dogs with and without intracavitary hemorrhage that underwent complete post-mortem and histopathology examinations were compared to healthy age-controlled dogs. Carcinoma- and sarcoma-bearing dogs without hemorrhage were compared. All tumor-bearing dogs without hemorrhage or metastasis were compared to those with metastasis, and characteristics were evaluated as indicators of metastasis. Tumor-bearing dogs without intracavitary hemorrhage (
