Idiopathic thoracic aortic aneurysm in a dog with 2:1 atrioventricular block.

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
A 14-year-old castrated male spitz dog was presented with intermittent coughing. Physical examination revealed bradycardia and a grade 3/6 left apical systolic murmur. Thoracic radiographs demonstrated severe bulging of the aortic arch with focal dorsal deviation of the trachea. Echocardiography revealed marked dilation involving the sinotubular junction and extending into the ascending aorta without discernible physiologic causes, with moderate aortic regurgitation and mild mitral regurgitation secondary to myxomatous degeneration. Electrocardiography showed a 2:1 second-degree atrioventricular block. Idiopathic thoracic aortic aneurysm was presumptively diagnosed. The dog was managed medically with pimobendan, theophylline, and famotidine. Clinical signs and electrocardiographic abnormalities improved, and the dog remained stable for 13 mo. Key clinical message: This case report demonstrates the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and clinical relevance of idiopathic thoracic aortic aneurysm in dogs.
