Ultrasonographic Appearance of Acute Prostatitis and Prostatic Abscesses in Dogs.

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
Prostatitis is one of the most common prostatic disorders in dogs, although its ultrasonographic features remain poorly characterized. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the ultrasonographic findings of canine prostatitis and prostatic abscessation and to investigate their association with clinical and laboratory abnormalities. Medical records of 35 client-owned dogs with cytologically or histologically confirmed acute prostatitis were reviewed. Clinical, ultrasonographic, laboratory, bacteriological, treatment, and follow-up data were collected. The most common ultrasonographic findings were inhomogeneous parenchymal echotexture, intraparenchymal cystic lesions, capsular edema, periprostatic steatitis, and asymmetry of the prostatic lobes. Prostatic abscesses were detected in 25 dogs and showed marked variability in size and morphology. Abscess diameter was positively correlated with body weight (
