Breed-Specific Relationship Between Rebound Tonometers (TonoVet and TonoVet Plus) in Labrador Retrievers.
Article in Veterinary ophthalmology, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to characterize the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained using two rebound tonometers (TonoVet and TonoVet Plus) in Labrador retrievers and to evaluate a regression-based approximation for supporting longitudinal interpretation following device replacement. ANIMALS STUDIED: Fifty-three clinically normal Labrador retrievers (106 eyes), including guide dog candidates and breeding dogs undergoing routine health screening in Japan, were included. PROCEDURES: IOP was measured sequentially using the TonoVet and TonoVet Plus, both set to dog mode. The first of three readings per eye per device was used for analysis. Measurement order effects were assessed in a separate cohort. Statistical analyses included paired t-tests, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Bland-Altman analysis. Deming regression was used to derive a regression-based approximation accounting for measurement error in both devices.
resultsMeasurement order did not significantly influence IOP values. The TonoVet Plus yielded significantly higher IOP values than the TonoVet (p < 0.0001), and a moderate positive correlation was observed between the two devices (r = 0.69). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated a systematic bias (mean difference + 4.5 mmHg; 95% limits of agreement, 1.3 to 7.7 mmHg). Deming regression yielded a slope of 1.05 and an intercept of 3.52. Age-related effects on IOP were small and not statistically significant.
conclusionsThe TonoVet Plus systematically measures higher IOP values than the TonoVet in Labrador retrievers. The derived breed-specific approximation may support longitudinal interpretation rather than precise individual-level prediction in comparable clinical settings; however, external validation in independent Labrador retriever populations is warranted.
