Coagulopathy as a Complication of Cardiopulmonary Arrest Following Balloon Valvuloplasty in a Dog.
Article in Veterinary medicine and 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
objectiveTo describe successful management of a coagulopathy secondary to cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) associated with pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty. CASE SUMMARY: An 8-month-old male intact Chihuahua mix presented for a pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty. Echocardiogram showed severe valvular pulmonic stenosis with a pulmonic valve maximum pressure gradient (PV max ΔP) of 108.2 mmHg (PV max ΔP >20 mmHg is considered abnormal). Near the end of the procedure, after the balloon deflation, the patient experienced prolonged periods of sinus arrest with associated ventricular escape rhythm. This was followed by complete sinus arrest and asystole. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated. After four CPR cycles, return of spontaneous circulation was achieved. The patient continued to have hypotension despite fluid resuscitation, requiring vasopressor therapy. Hemorrhagic abdominal effusion was identified. Coagulopathy was confirmed via prolonged blood clotting times and thrombocytopenia. Treatment was comprehensive, including transfusions of whole blood, packed red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma. During 4 days of postoperative hospitalisation, the patient showed improvement and was discharged. Upon rechecking 13 and 227 days after discharge, a repeated echocardiogram showed a >50% improvement of the PV max ΔP measured at 40 and 38.5 mmHg, respectively. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED: This is the first published veterinary case report describing the recognition and successful treatment of a consumptive coagulopathy and presumptive disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) following CPA during a balloon valvuloplasty procedure.
