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

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the complications and long-term postoperative outcomes in dogs diagnosed with urethral prolapse (UP) that underwent urethropexy and/or urethral resection and anastomosis (uRA). Animals and procedure: Medical records of 21 client-owned dogs undergoing urethropexy and/or uRA were reviewed. Complications and long-term outcomes were assessed retrospectively. Results: Twenty-one dogs were included, and all dogs survived to discharge. The overall complication rate was 52.3%, with recurrence the most common complication ( Conclusion and clinical relevance: Urethropexy and uRA were safe when done as single or combined procedures. Recurrence was the most prevalent complication in this study, and may warrant multiple revision surgeries. Appropriate communication about the risk of recurrence and the potential for multiple revision surgeries is recommended for owners with dogs undergoing UP repair.
