Neutrophilic inflammatory enteropathy in 27 dogs: a retrospective descriptive study.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 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
backgroundDogs with chronic inflammatory enteropathy (CIE) are common in companion animal practice. Neutrophilic inflammatory enteropathy (NIE) is a subtype of CIE that is uncommonly reported, posing a dilemma in terms of etiology, treatment, and prognosis. HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesTo describe historical, clinical, clinicopathological, imaging findings, treatment, and survival in dogs with histologically confirmed NIE. ANIMALS: Twenty-seven client-owned dogs with NIE. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective interrogation of the hospital database between January 2015 and January 2025 identified dogs with NIE based on histological reports. Cases were regraded using modified WSAVA guidelines and classified into the minor (mild inflammation) or major (moderate or severe inflammation) groups.
resultsTwenty-seven dogs were identified, with 8 and 19 dogs in the minor and major groups, respectively. The mean age was 7.7 ± 3.5 (95% CI, 6.4-9.1) years. The most common presenting signs were diarrhea (n = 21/27; 78%), vomiting (n = 21/27; 78%), weight loss (n = 20/27; 74%), hyporexia/anorexia (n = 13/27; 48%), and melena (n = 7/27; 26%). Clinicopathological abnormalities included neutrophilia (n = 12/27, 44%), hypoalbuminemia (n = 14/27, 52%), hypoglobulinemia (n = 23/27, 85%), hypocholesterolemia (n = 11/27; 41%), total hypocalcemia (n = 11/27; 41%), and hypocobalaminemia (n = 14/24; 58%). Twenty-four (89%) dogs (6 minor and 18 major) survived to discharge, with an overall median survival time of 267 (95% CI, 0-569) days, with no statistically significant difference between the major and minor groups. Peripheral neutrophilia was associated with an increased hazard of death (4.43; 95% CI, 1.16-16.99; P = .03) on univariate analysis and a significantly shorter median survival time. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Neutrophilic inflammatory enteropathy is potentially associated with poor survival. Peripheral neutrophilia might indicate a poorer prognosis.
