Clinical and radiographic evaluation of manus and pes lesions, including the carpus and tarsus, and associated risk factors in dromedary camels

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
Aim: Injuries of the Manus and Pes, including the carpus and tarsus are a primary cause of lameness and subsequent economic loss in the camel industry. This retrospective study aimed to determine the prevalence of manus and pes lesions, including the carpus, and tarsus and evaluate the diagnostic utility of radiography in confirming clinical diagnoses of these conditions in dromedary camels. Furthermore, it investigated the risk factors associated with these injuries in the Qassim region. Methods: A total of 222 dromedary camels of various ages, sexes, and breeds were presented to the University Veterinary Hospital at Qassim University with manus and pes lesions, including the carpus and tarsus. Results: Clinical and radiographic assessments identified 325 distinct lesions. Hard-tissue lesions (62.5%)-predominantly fractures, joint dislocations, and bony exostoses, were significantly more prevalent than soft-tissue lesions (37.5%), such as fibromas, flexural deformities, wounds, and penetrating solar nails. These conditions were most frequently localized to the fetlock joint and the forelimbs. Key risk factors identified included juvenile age, female sex, body weight between 150 and 500 kg, and the Wadeh breed. Conclusion: Radiography is an essential diagnostic tool for identifying bone involvement, formulating targeted treatment plans, and establishing a reliable prognosis for the affections of the manus and pes, including the carpus and tarsus regions in camels when clinical examination alone is inconclusive. Identifying these risk factors will facilitate the development of preventative strategies to enhance camel welfare and herd productivity.
