Frequency of abnormal C-reactive protein concentrations in blood of dogs with hypoadrenocorticism.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 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
backgroundC-reactive protein (CRP) concentration in serum or plasma is high in humans during adrenal crisis due to multiple mechanisms, however, the frequency and clinical relevance of high CRP concentrations in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism are unknown. HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesTo determine the frequency of high CRP concentrations in serum or plasma of dogs with hypoadrenocorticism. We hypothesized that CRP concentrations are commonly above reference limit in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism with and without inflammatory comorbidities. ANIMALS: Fifty-one dogs with hypoadrenocorticism presented to 2 referral centers between 2017 and 2023.
methodsMedical records were retrospectively reviewed for dogs diagnosed with and presenting for illness due to hypoadrenocorticism. Dogs were grouped according to identification of a concurrent inflammatory disease at the time of diagnosis, and whether electrolyte abnormalities were present. C-reactive protein concentrations were compared between groups.
resultsFifty-one dogs were included. C-reactive protein concentration in serum or plasma was above 10 mg/L in 38 of 51 (75%) cases. Median CRP concentration was 52.5 mg/L (range 8-191.4); this was not significantly different between dogs with (n = 14) or without (n = 37) a known inflammatory comorbidity (54.25 [8.0-191.4] and 44.0 [8-180.8] mg/L, respectively, P = .35), or between dogs with (n = 32) or without (n = 13) electrolyte abnormalities (48.25 [8.0-180.8] and 63.0 [8.0-191.4] mg/L, respectively, P = .51). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: High CRP concentrations in serum or plasma were frequently identified in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism, including dogs without recognized inflammatory comorbidities. Hypoadrenocorticism should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases with high CRP concentrations and vague clinical signs. Extensive investigations for high CRP concentrations in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism might not be necessary without other supporting evidence of an inflammatory comorbidity.
