Effectiveness of a mesotherapy protocol vs. an epidural injection of platelet-rich plasma or methylprednisolone in degenerative lumbosacral stenosis in dogs - a retrospective study.

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
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of an intradermal mesotherapy protocol, an intra-articular injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and an epidural injection of methylprednisolone in managing degenerative lumbosacral stenosis in dogs. Study design: Retrospective study. Animals: 55 dogs. Methods: The animals were divided into three treatment groups: a mesotherapy group (MG, Results: All treatments produced clinically significant improvements. The MG and PRPG produced significant improvements in Pain Severity Scores (PSS) and Pain Interference Scores (PIS) scores up to +90d, but only the PRPG maintained these improvements up to +120d ( Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: All three treatments are good options that can be effective, with PRP being the most advantageous, in terms of clinical improvement and duration of effect.
