Experimental esophageal reconstruction in dogs using autologous platelet-rich plasma-augmented acellular amniotic membrane scaffold.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Surgical treatment of esophageal diseases in pets is associated with high morbidity and postoperative complications. Depending on the degree of tissue loss, the excision may be replaced with a patch or segmental esophagoplasty. Autografts are commonly used for esophageal repair. Autografts from vital organs expose the animal to unnecessary laparotomies or surgery on healthy organs. This has led to the development of several biological materials for esophageal repair. Aim: This study investigated the use of acellular amniotic membrane as a support structure for esophageal reconstruction in dogs supplemented with platelet-rich plasma. Methods: This experimental study was conducted with 15 mongrel dogs. The patients were divided into three equal groups: the first group was treated with acellular amniotic membrane accompanied by autologous platelet-rich plasma, the second group was treated with acellular amniotic membrane only, and the third group utilized a pedicled flap of the sternohyoideus muscle alone for closing a circumferential esophageal defect. Results: The dogs were evaluated 30 days after treatment, and the esophageal defects in the first group healed better than those in the other groups. Conclusion: The use of acellular amniotic membrane as a bioscaffold, combined with platelet-rich plasma, may be a viable option for esophageal reconstruction given the encouraging results.
