Hormonal, clinical, and survival outcomes in horses and ponies diagnosed with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction in primary care practice.
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
backgroundVariables associated with hormonal, clinical, and survival outcomes of equids with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) are incompletely investigated. HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesEvaluate the effect of initial hormone concentrations, clinical signs, treatment, and owner-related variables on outcomes in horses and ponies with PPID. ANIMALS: Medical records from 213 horses and ponies diagnosed with PPID by 2 university-based primary care practices.
methodsAnalytical observational cohort study. Variables associated with adrenocorticotropic hormone normalization, clinical improvement, and survival after diagnosis were assessed with Fisher's exact tests or Mann-Whitney U tests. Stepwise backward multivariable logistic regression models were performed to determine variables independently associated with outcomes of interest with report of odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs.
resultsAge at diagnosis (OR: 0.90 [95% CI, 0.84-0.97]; P = .003) and number of months between tests (OR: 0.96 [95% CI, 0.92-0.99]; P = .003) were associated with hormonal normalization after diagnosis. A body condition score (BCS) between 4 and 6/9 at diagnosis (OR: 15.07 [95% CI, 2.17-238.5]; P = .004) and median household income in the county of residence/1000 (MHI, OR: 1.17 [95% CI, 1.02-1.42]; P = .02) were associated with clinical improvement after diagnosis. Age at diagnosis (OR: 0.91 [95% CI, 0.85-0.98]; P = .01) and MHI (OR: 1.04 [95% CI, 1.01-1.07]; P = .02) were associated with survival after diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Diagnosis at a younger age, frequent monitoring, a healthy BCS, and the owner's financial means were associated with improved outcomes in horses managed for PPID.
