Common Radiographic Findings in Moroccan Working Equids: A Retrospective Study (2015-2022).
Article in Veterinary sciences, 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
Working equids are at high risk of musculoskeletal disorders due to strenuous labor, repetitive tasks, and harsh environmental conditions. This retrospective study describes the distribution of radiographically detected musculoskeletal findings in working equids presented to four Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA) centers in Morocco, based on 498 animals and 1125 radiographs collected between 2015 and 2022. The study population was mainly composed of horses (78.1%), followed by donkeys (15.3%) and mules (6.6%). Most were males (65.7%), and the majority were between 5 and 15 years old (60.4%). The distal limb (foot, pastern, and fetlock) was the most frequently examined region (62.7%). Among the animals reviewed, 381 (76.5%) exhibited at least one radiographically detected abnormality, while 117 (23.5%) showed no visible osseous change. The most frequent findings included foot-related changes (36.2%), defined as non-fracture podiatric abnormalities, fractures (29.7%), and periosteal new bone formation (22%). Less frequent findings were degenerative joint disease (8.1%), joint subluxation or luxation (1.6%), epiphyseal abnormalities (1.6%), and angular deformities (0.8%). These results provide an overview of radiographically detected osseous changes in working equids under field conditions. They highlight the diagnostic value of radiography in low-resource environments and provide a basis for future field-based studies.
