Inter-device variability in lactate measurement in dogs: comparison of blood gas analyzer and portable lactate meter.
Article in The Journal of veterinary medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lactate levels are critical indicators of severe, life-threatening conditions and are widely used as prognostic markers in veterinary emergency care. Blood gas analyzers and portable lactate meters are common tools, but discrepancies between devices, especially at high lactate levels, have been reported. This study aimed to evaluate inter-device variability in canine lactate measurement. Lactate levels in 118 dogs were measured using a blood gas analyzer and a portable lactate meter. A strong correlation (R=0.906) was observed; however, the portable meter exhibited an 18% positive bias primarily characterized by additive error. These findings emphasize the need for careful device selection and the standardization of lactate measurement methods.
