1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Although extensively studied in humans, data on the middle cranial fossa foramina remain limited in dogs, despite their different skull morphology and high relevance to veterinary neurology, surgery and oncology. In this retrospective anatomic study, we aimed to fill this gap by presenting the morphometric data of these foramina in domestic dogs of different breeds, ages, body weights, and skull sizes. The study used CBCT images of 40 dogs. Dogs were divided into three groups (small, medium, and large), regardless of sex, body weight, and breed, using neurocranium length. Then, morphological and morphometric analyses of the foramina were performed. The neurocranium length of each group differed significantly from the others (
