Making the case for a resurgent U.S. independent veterinary practice segment: a SWOT analysis.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary 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
Private equity and corporate ownership of veterinary practices has largely been characterized as either wholly good or wholly bad. Supporters point to increased returns and access to capital and investments in associates, technology, and other resources. Opponents point to unnecessary debt and decreased quality of care. Good or bad, they are part of the practice landscape. This SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis of independent veterinary practice reveals that, while corporate veterinary practices have a role, a thriving independent practice segment still provides a deeply satisfying career and a viable living. We conclude that, with the current economic conditions and the appropriate modifications in the veterinary ecosystem, conditions are ripe for a resurgence of independent veterinary practice ownership.
