Influence of acclimatization time on barometric whole-body plethysmography in cats with lower airway disease.
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 2 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
backgroundBarometric whole-body plethysmography (BWBP) is used as a noninvasive method to assess lung function in cats with lower airway disease (LAD). The duration of the acclimatization period in the measuring chamber varies between the studies.
objectivesTo assess the influence of acclimatization time on variables indicative of lung function. ANIMALS: Twenty-four client-owned cats with LAD and 8 healthy cats.
methodsIn the prospective case-control study for each cat, a 30-minute dataset was collected. Data for the three 10-minute periods were statistically compared.
resultsThe variables pause (T1 median: 0.8, range: [0.7-1]; T3: 0.9 [0.8-1.1]; P ≤ .01), peak inspiratory flow (PIF; T1: 84.9 [71.6-112.7]; T3: 75 [63.6-108.3]; P ≤ .001), peak expiratory flow (PEF; T1: 53.2 [41.5-76.6]; T3: 42.5 [34.6-57.8]; P ≤ .01), and a quotient of PEF and expiratory flow at 50% expired volume (PEF/EF50; T1: 1.2 [1.1-1.4]; T3: 1.2 [1.1-1.5]; P ≤ .01) varied significantly between first and third time period in cats with LAD. In healthy cats PIF (T1: 76.4 [66.3-85.2]; T2: 69.5 [58.3-85.2]; P ≤ .01), PEF (T1: 40 [32.8-58.6]; T2: 34.3, [29.8-44.6]; P ≤ .01), and PEF/EF50 (T1: 13.1 [11.6-14.6]; T3: 13.6 [12.4-16.3]; P ≤ .01) changed significantly between first and second time period. Enhanced pause did not change significantly in either group. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Acclimatization time has a significant influence on multiple variables in BWBP. Manual correction of the data for tidal breathing flow-volume loop might be necessary.
