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

Spinal arachnoid diverticulum is a fluid-filled dilation within the subarachnoid space that can result in compressive myelopathy, prompting investigation into optimal surgical management and outcomes. This retrospective study reviewed clinical records of dogs treated surgically between January 2021 and July 2025, including 11 cases that met the criteria of chronic progressive para- or tetraparesis, MRI-confirmed diagnosis, and use of a standardized surgical technique. All dogs underwent dorsal laminectomy followed by durotomy, durectomy, and microsurgical dissection of adhesions performed by the same surgeon, with optical magnification and specialized instruments to ensure consistency. The condition was more common in males, with French Bulldogs overrepresented (
