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

Infrared thermography quantifies body surface temperature with growing applications in dogs, particularly among rehabilitation practitioners; however, incomplete understanding of normal temperature variation in healthy dogs limits interpretation. This study characterized body surface temperature distribution and evaluated factors influencing thermographic measurements in a heterogeneous group of healthy dogs. Client-owned, adult dogs were prospectively enrolled and underwent standardized thermographic imaging, with regions of interest defined for trunk, neck, and spine. Mean surface temperatures were assessed for symmetry, compared across regions and explored for relationships with individual dog characteristics.
