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

With the increasing number of cats kept as pets, opportunities to treat cats with lower urinary tract disease (LUTD) have recently increased in the clinical veterinary field. Urine samples collected from 50 cats with bacterial cystitis brought to Maeda Veterinary Hospital between August 10, 2015 and March 31, 2017 were used in the study. Sample preparation of the urine was performed using a MALDI Sepsityper kit and rapid BACpro. To identify the isolates, MALDI-TOF MS was performed on an AutoFlex TOF/TOF mass spectrometer. MALDI-TOF MS using rapid BACpro for pretreatment was found to be a quick and reliable method for identification of bacteria from infected urine, with a shortened analysis time enabling earlier and more accurate selection of antibiotics for treatment of feline LUTD.
