Voluntary acceptance of nutrient-enriched water supplement and promotion of water intake in clinically dehydrated cats.
Article in Journal of feline medicine and surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 aim of this prospective observational study was to quantitate voluntary consumption of a nutrient-enriched water (NW) supplement and assess any improvements in serum biochemical values, clinical hydration assessments or quality of life (QoL) parameters in clinically dehydrated feline patients.MethodsA total of 13 stable, clinically dehydrated pet cats, for which outpatient management was deemed clinically appropriate by the attending veterinarian, completed the study between May and December 2023. Cats were offered NW based on body weight, along with ad libitum water. Fluid intake was measured, and changes in blood urea nitrogen and other biochemical measures of hydration, body weight, clinical hydration and owner-perceived QoL) survey scores were assessed at baseline and at 48 h.ResultsVoluntary NW intake (median 38.9 ml/kg/day) was significantly higher than ad libitum drinking water consumption (13.7 ml/kg/day;
