1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo characterize the clinical signs and outcomes in dogs following ingestion of a single, unintended dose of trilostane. The secondary objective was to describe treatment recommendations given for this population.

designRetrospective evaluation of cases of canine trilostane exposure from February 2008 to August 2023.

settingPrivate, specialty toxicology consultation service. ANIMALS: Four hundred three cases were selected from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Poison Control Center AnTox database using a nonstratified sampling technique. Data included patient demographics, history, therapeutic use of trilostane, exposure history, diagnostic findings, treatment recommendations, and outcome.

interventionsNone. METHODS AND MAIN

resultsThe most common cause of trilostane exposure was ingestion of another dog's prescription (248/403 [61.5%]), followed by ingestion of extra or excessive dose(s) of the dog's own prescription (147/403 [36.5%]). Forty-one dogs (41/403 [10.2%]) had clinical signs attributable to trilostane exposure. Median onset of clinical signs after exposure was 2.5 h (range: 0.25-72 h). The most frequently reported clinical signs were vomiting (17/41 [41.5%]), lethargy (15/41 [36.6%]), and diarrhea (7/41 [17.0%]). Four cases (4/403 [0.99%]) were reported to require veterinary treatment for trilostane toxicosis. Of the cases with follow-up from the ASPCA (200/403 [49.6%]), most dogs (188/200 [93.5%]) developed no clinical signs from acute trilostane exposure. The median exposure dosage (13.2 mg/kg) in the 12 dogs that developed clinical signs was significantly higher than in those that did not (3.3 mg/kg).

conclusionsThe current study suggests that dogs ingesting a single, unintended dose of trilostane are likely to experience mild, self-limiting signs. The need for extensive hospitalization or aggressive medical care is unlikely, even with high single doses that exceed the published and Food and Drug Administration-approved therapeutic dosage.
