Hereditary methemoglobinemia in a cyanotic cat presented for ovariohysterectomy.
Article in The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne, 2019. 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
A 1-year-old, female, domestic shorthair cat with a history of cyanotic mucous membranes for several months was referred for ovariohysterectomy. Blood samples exhibited a noticeably brownish discoloration, while laboratory screening revealed mild-to-moderate erythrocytosis and near normal partial arterial oxygen pressure. Blood methemoglobin content was 41% of total hemoglobin concentration, and erythrocytic methemoglobin reductase activity was < 1% compared with control samples. A diagnosis of hereditary methemoglobinemia was established. After an intravenous injection of methylene blue, the cat's mucous membranes became transiently pink, and the ovariohysterectomy was uneventful. Methylene blue may have improved safety during anesthesia and surgery. Hereditary methemoglobinemia should be considered in persistently cyanotic cats with normal partial arterial oxygen pressure and lack of evidence of cardiopulmonary disease, anemia, or toxin exposure.
