Hypophosphatemia in Intensive Care Unit Canine Patients: Occurrence and Association With Mortality and Duration of Hospitalization.
Article in Veterinary clinical pathology, 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
backgroundHypophosphatemia is commonly observed in unselected human intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and it has been associated, although inconsistently, with worse outcomes and longer duration of hospitalization (DOH). The incidence of hypophosphatemia and its association with mortality and DOH in ICU canine patients is unknown.
objectivesThe aims of this study were to determine the occurrence of hypophosphatemia in unselected ICU canine patients and its association with mortality and DOH.
methodsThe medical records of all dogs admitted to the Teaching Hospital ICU between January 2019 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Dogs with hypophosphatemia (serum phosphate < 0.9 mmol/L) were identified. For every hypophosphataemic dog included in this study, two age-matched control, non-hypophosphataemic dogs, closely admitted to the ICU in time, were included.
resultsIn total, 3233 medical records were reviewed. Hypophosphatemia was noted in ≥ 1 day of hospitalization in 32 dogs (0.99%). The age-matched case and control groups had a median (range) age of 8.0 (1.0-14.0) years. The survival to discharge rates of both hypophosphataemic and control groups were 78% (25/32 and 50/64, respectively), and their DOH (median, 3.5 days; range 1.0-9.0 and median 3.0 days; range 1.0-25.0, respectively) were not significantly different (p = 0.557). Serum phosphate concentration was not correlated with the DOH (p = 0.649).
conclusionsHypophosphatemia was noted in only 1% in this canine ICU patient population and was not associated with the survival to discharge and DOH.
