Infrared Thermographic Evaluation Following Hemilaminectomy in Dogs with Thoracolumbar Intervertebral Disc Extrusion: A Pilot Study.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
(1) Background: Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) represents one of the most frequently encountered neurological disorders in canine patients and often necessitates surgical decompression by means of hemilaminectomy. Objective methods for evaluating postoperative inflammatory response and tissue healing remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate temporal changes in local cutaneous temperature and thermal patterns in dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion using Infrared Thermography; (2) Methods: Fifteen dogs diagnosed with Hansen type I thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion were included. Diagnosis was established through neurological examination and computed tomography. Thermographic assessment of the thoracolumbar region (T11-L3) was performed preoperatively (Day 0), 24 h postoperatively (Day 1), and 7 days after surgery (Day 7) using an FLIR E50 thermal camera. Mean cutaneous temperature and thermal distribution patterns were analyzed. Statistical evaluation was performed using Repeated Measures ANOVA and the Friedman test; (3) Results: Significant temporal differences in local cutaneous temperature were identified between the evaluated time points (
