Effects of atipamezole dosage and timing of administration on recovery time and quality in cats following injectable anaesthesia incorporating ketamine.
Article in Journal of feline medicine and surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to establish the optimum dosage and timing of administration of atipamezole in cats undergoing general anaesthesia incorporating ketamine to provide the shortest recovery possible without unacceptably compromising recovery quality.
methodsIn total, 128 healthy male cats (age range 2-108 months, weight range 0.56-5.22 kg) admitted for castration were randomly allocated to groups of 32. Anaesthesia was induced with 60 mg/m
resultsGroups did not differ significantly in preparation or surgical time. Auricular temperature decreased significantly over time ( CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Atipamezole administration after 20 mins did not reduce recovery time but neither was recovery quality adversely affected compared with when it was administered after 40 mins, following datasheet recommendations with concurrent ketamine administration. The results of this study also suggest that an atipamezole:medetomidine dose ratio of 2.5:1 is more effective than 1:1 in reducing recovery time, regardless of timing of administration, although this only reached statistical significance for time to sternal recumbency when atipamezole was administered after 20 mins.
