Kinetics of Regenerating Protein 3E and C-Reactive Protein in Healthy Dogs, Dogs Undergoing Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, and Dogs With Sepsis.
Article in Veterinary clinical pathology, 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
backgroundSerial measurements of acute-phase proteins help monitor the development of and recovery from sepsis in people and dogs. To date, the kinetics of regenerating protein (REG) 3E, a novel biomarker for inflammation in dogs, are unknown.
objectivesThe goal of our study was to assess changes in the concentrations of REG3E and compare these to C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations over 48-72 h in different cohorts of dogs.
methodsPlasma REG3E concentrations were measured using an ELISA on 3-4 consecutive days from 43 dogs, including 12 healthy controls, 17 undergoing tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO), and 14 with sepsis. Canine CRP was measured using a turbidimetric immunoassay.
resultsREG3E concentrations were low in control and TPLO dogs throughout all time points. In the TPLO group, there was a mild but significant increase in CRP over time. REG3E and CRP concentrations were higher in septic dogs at admission compared to the other groups and progressively decreased after initiation of treatment to 14% and 28% of initial levels, respectively, within 72 h. REG3E, but not CRP concentrations, stayed high in two dogs, one of which developed recurrent sepsis. There was a significant moderate correlation between both acute-phase proteins among all groups and within the sepsis group, but not within the TPLO group.
conclusionsIn conclusion, based on this cohort of dogs, CRP appears to be more sensitive to detect minor postsurgical inflammation, but the potential of REG3E to predict developing or recurrent sepsis deserves further investigation.
