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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of complications associated with arterial catheterization in cats in a veterinary hospital, and to document which factors may increase the incidence of complications.

methodsMedical records at a referral veterinary hospital were retrospectively reviewed to identify cats that had an arterial catheter placed between January 2010 and October 2014.

resultsThirty-five cats having 38 arterial catheters were included in the study. There was a relatively high incidence of minor complications (23.7%), with the most common being catheter occlusion. The incidence of major arterial catheter complications was low (2.63%). Duration of catheter use was positively correlated to the incidence of complications. There was also a significant correlation between catheters used for intensive care unit monitoring and incidence of complications. All cats with catheter complications survived to discharge. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The low incidence of major arterial catheter complications in this population of cats illustrates that arterial catheterization is a safe monitoring and diagnostic tool. The duration of catheter placement is significantly associated with the incidence of catheter complications.
