Association between uropathogens and the occurrence of magnesium ammonium phosphate and calcium oxalate in cats with urolithiasis: a retrospective study (2016-2021).

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 incidence of calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis in cats is rising globally, while magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) uroliths remain prevalent. MAP uroliths are commonly associated with urease bacterial infection in dogs. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) could increase the risk of urolithiasis, but there have only been limited studies to date in cats in developing countries. This study evaluates the association between UTI, sex, age and the occurrence of MAP uroliths compared with CaOx uroliths in cats treated for urolithiasis at Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Thailand.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted of medical records from cats undergoing surgery for urolithiasis at Kasetsart University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Thailand between 2016 and 2021. Data retrieval included mineral type, age, sex, breed and culture results. Uroliths were analysed via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) assessed risk factors for MAP urolith formation.ResultsData from 264 cats (168 males, median age 5 years; 95 females, median age 5.1 years; one unidentified) were included. Calcium oxalate (CaOx) was the most common urolith (170/264, 64.4%), followed by MAP urolithiasis (80/264, 30.3%). A total of 176 urine samples were cultured, of which 36/58 MAP cases, 32/107 CaOx cases and 5/11 other urolith cases tested positive. The most common bacteria were
