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
The glottis of 26 dogs with respiratory signs was examined by virtual laryngoscopy for peering into the throat from within the trachea (RDVL: rostral direction virtual laryngoscopy) with and without sedation of butorphanol, medetomidine, and alfaxalone (BMA). These dogs are divided into two groups of with or without sedation. In 9 unsedated dogs, there were many Chihuahuas, and the primary symptom was coughing. In 17 sedated dogs, Toy Poodles and Pomeranians were the most common breeds, and the primary symptoms were coughing and worsening respiratory symptoms at excitement. RDVL provided a reliable view of glottic motion, and the airway space was interfered with for flaccid adductors. RVDL without sedation is recommended. However, BMA sedation is suggested when necessary.
