Assessment of hemostasis in hyperthyroid and euthyroid cats using two viscoelastic assays and platelet aggregometry.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. 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
backgroundHyperthyroidism in humans is associated with a hypercoagulable state and an increased risk of thromboembolism.
objectiveTo evaluate hemostatic variables in hyperthyroid and euthyroid cats with the hypothesis that hyperthyroid cats will have evidence of altered hemostasis consistent with a potential hypercoagulable state. ANIMALS: Client-owned hyperthyroid (n = 16) and euthyroid (n = 15) cats over 8 years of age.
methodsProspective observational study. Hyperthyroid and euthyroid cats were enrolled. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), whole-blood platelet impedance aggregometry (WBPIA) and a point-of-care viscoelastic coagulation monitor (VCM-Vet) were performed immediately after minimally traumatic venipuncture under sedation.
resultsHyperthyroid cats had significantly higher values for variables as assessed by VCM-Vet: A10 (34 [17-47] vs 25 [17-38], P = .003); A20 (39.5 [23-55] vs 31 [21-45], P = .003); and MCF (41 [24-58] vs 35 [22-49], P = .03). Hyperthyroid cats had significantly different values versus the euthyroid cohort as assessed by different ROTEM channels: increased A10, INTEM (61.5 [39-75] vs 54 [23-66], P = .007) and FIBTEM (18 [10-35] vs 13 [2-27], P = .01); increased A20, INTEM (68 [45-78] vs 61 [30-70], P = .006) and FIBTEM (17 [10-34] vs 11 [2-25], P = .002); increased MCF, EXTEM (72 [65-81] vs 69 [34-78], P = .04), INTEM (70 [45-85] vs 62 [35-71], P = .01) and FIBTEM (18 [13-37] vs 14 [3-27], P = .02); increased alpha angle, EXTEM (80 [68-85] vs 76 [41-84], P = .01); shortened CT, EXTEM (52.5 [29-73] vs 60 [52-92], P = .003) and FIBTEM (52.5 [16-75] vs 65 [53-165], P = .001); and decreased ML, FIBTEM (20 [1-36] vs 33 [19-59], P <.001). No significant differences were found with WBPIA. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: The hyperthyroid cats in this study had evidence of altered hemostasis as assessed by 2 viscoelastic methodologies, and characterized by increased clot amplitude, firmness, and faster coagulation times vs euthyroid controls.
