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

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and types of bacterial isolates associated with subclinical bacteriuria (SBU) in dogs with reduced mobility; and to explore the influence of SBU on surgical-site infection (SSI) in dogs treated surgically for their conditions. Animals: We studied 140 client-owned dogs. Procedure: Medical records of dogs with orthopedic and neurological conditions from 3 academic referral hospitals were reviewed. Dogs receiving antimicrobials or showing lower urinary tract signs were excluded. Using generalized linear models, clinical, procedural, and postoperative variables were evaluated as possible risk factors for SBU and SSI. Results: The prevalence of SBU and the rate of SSI were 8.5% (12/140) and 10.4% (10/96), respectively. Urine culture was completed in 6 of 12 dogs with SBU, and 3 results were positive ( Conclusion and clinical relevance: Screening and treating for SBU preoperatively remains controversial.
