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

case series summarySeven cats were found to have postoperative subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) occlusion secondary to blood clot formation. An increase in serum creatinine led to imaging and clot detection in all but one case. Alteplase, a tissue plasminogen activator, was infused into the SUB via the port in four cats, intravesicularly via a transurethral urinary catheter in one cat, and by both routes in two cats. Patency of the SUB was re-established in all cats within 2 days. No short- or long-term complications directly attributed to alteplase administration were observed. RELEVANCE AND NOVEL INFORMATION: The results of this case series suggest that alteplase infusion via either the SUB port and/or a transurethral catheter should be considered prior to surgical intervention for the treatment of postoperative SUB occlusion secondary to a blood clot.
