Rapid functional recovery in a Golden Retriever puppy with swimmer puppy syndrome following early conservative management including loose-loop technique: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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
Swimmer puppy syndrome (SPS) is a rare developmental condition of unknown etiology. The syndrome is characterized by a puppy's inability to adduct the limbs, resulting in lateral limb abduction and an inability to stand or walk. In this case, an almost 4-week-old female Golden Retriever presented for early physiotherapeutic evaluation. Adduction tapes were applied to the forelimbs and hindlimbs. Additionally, the treatment area was covered with a non-slip rubber mat. Further physiotherapeutic interventions were implemented. Intensive care was discontinued after 10 days. At the 16-month follow-up, the dog showed no clinically apparent gait abnormalities and had made a good functional recovery. Early recognition and conservative management, including physiotherapeutic intervention with simple mechanical support through loose-loop taping and environmental modifications, can result in rapid functional recovery in puppies with swimmer puppy syndrome.
