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
Gastrointestinal foreign body obstruction is a frequently diagnosed ailment in small animal medicine and postoperative ileus can be a challenging sequela to manage. Nasogastric feeding tubes can be utilized after surgery for both quantification of gastric residual volumes to identify ileus as well as nutritional management in anorexic patients. This single-institution retrospective study assesses the association of gastric residual volumes measured via nasogastric feeding tubes with gastrointestinal signs and complications in dogs and cats undergoing foreign body surgery, with and without temporary nasogastric tube placement for postoperative management. In this retrospective study, 469 dogs and cats that had foreign body surgery within a 3-year period were included. These were arranged into two groups for analysis, 210 patients that had a nasogastric tubes placed and 259 that did not. Signalment, presenting clinical signs, and surgical procedure(s) performed were similar between groups, however, nasogastric tube placement was more likely for patients that underwent enterectomy (85.2%,
