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
Porcine-derived gelatin sponge SPONGOSTAN™ is an adjunct material routinely used in neurosurgery. This study aimed to describe its MRI features, since its imaging features are not available yet in veterinary medicine. Post-operative MR images of dogs that underwent decompressive ventral slot surgery following cervical intervertebral disc extrusion were retrospectively reviewed by three readers; inter-rater association was evaluated using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Seventy-eight cases were included. In 51% of cases, the hemostatic sponge appeared isointense in T1-W images compared to the semispinalis capitis muscle, and in the remaining 49% of the cases, it appeared iso-hypointense. On T2-W sequences, the material appeared hyperintense in 76% of cases, with signal intensity from hypointense to iso-hyperintense in the remaining 24%. On the GET2-W* sequences, the material appeared hypointense in 91% and iso-hypointense in 9% of cases. A peripheral hyperintense rim was described in 41%, 35% and 6% of T2-W, T1-W and GET2*-W images, respectively. A strong association was detected with a
