Health implications of dog-worn equipment: a review of known and alleged physical risks.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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
Dogs are routinely managed using collars, harnesses and other equipment following practices that have been adhered to for centuries, yet concerns about potential adverse health effects have rarely been addressed through structured investigation. This review presents the existing literature regarding impacts of commonly-used dog-worn equipment, generally limited to studies of generated pressures and leash forces, effects on gait and intraocular pressure and a few case reports of equipment-related trauma. Additional studies are needed to specifically evaluate health risks and assess the validity of claimed adverse impacts of collars and other equipment. Until such evidence is established, heightened awareness of the associations of equipment with important and potentially vulnerable anatomic structures and functions as well as known risks presented herein can serve as a touchstone for safe, thoughtful practice in use of dog-worn equipment by all those who work with dogs.
