1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Standard predictive equations for maintenance energy requirements often do not account for individual variability in dogs, potentially leading to nutritional inaccuracies. This prospective proofofconcept study evaluated a dynamic energy prescription protocol integrating wearable activity data in adult shelter dogs. Twenty-six dogs were enrolled, of which 19 had valid longitudinal data for analysis. The 10-week protocol comprised a fixed energy prescription phase (R1), based on perceived activity level, followed by a dynamic phase (R2), in which energy allowance was recalculated weekly incorporating accelerometer-derived activity data and other individual parameters. During R2, BCS remained unchanged in 12/19 dogs and varied one unit in 7/19. Of these, two dogs with above-ideal baseline BCS decreased, and one dog with below-ideal BCS increased. Body weight (mean ± SD: 24.2 ± 7.0 vs. 23.6 ± 6.7 kg;
