Evaluation of cardiac troponin I in dogs presenting to the emergency room using a point-of-care assay.
Observational study in The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
We used a point-of-care assay to evaluate cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in clinically normal dogs and a heterogeneous population of dogs presenting to the emergency room (ER) and to determine whether cTnI has prognostic capabilities in an ER population. Fourteen clinically normal dogs and 129 dogs presented to the ER were evaluated. Of the study group, 88 dogs had normal cTnI (< 0.1 ng/mL), 29 had elevated cTnI (0.1 to 1.0 ng/mL), and 12 had high cTnI (> 1.0 ng/mL). Dogs with elevated cTnI had 8 times the odds of mortality compared to dogs with normal cTnI [odds ratio (OR): 8.2, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.0, 22.3]. Dogs with high cTnI had 17 times higher odds of mortality compared to dogs with normal cTnI (OR: 17.6, 95% CI: 4.4, 70.1). We conclude that cTnI shows promise as a prognostic indicator for dogs presenting to the ER and can be easily evaluated using a point-of-care assay.
