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

Introduction: Canine sarcoptic mange is a highly contagious parasitic skin disease of dogs. On the basis of previous Methods: A total of 100 naturally infected dogs were randomly assigned to 7% clove oil-treated groups, a positive control group, and an untreated control group. Therapeutic efficacy was assessed using mite counts, reduction rates, and clinical scores. Results and discussion: Following a 14‑day treatment, the decline in the comprehensive infection index reached 93.25% (high dose), 85.12% (medium dose), 84.18% (positive control), and 65.23% (low dose). At D14, significant between-group differences were observed in mite-burden score (H(4) = 58.381,
