Access to veterinary care in Canada: a cross-sectional survey of animal healthcare organizations and interventions.
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. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Many Canadians struggle to access healthcare for their animals, but little data is available from the Canadian context on how barriers to care are being addressed, and with what effects. Methods: The aim of this research was to characterize service providing organizations, barrier mitigation tools, community partnerships, and evaluation metrics used by organizations attempting to increase access to animal healthcare in Canada. In this study, we conducted online data mining and a cross-sectional, mixed-methods organizational survey. Results: Responses to the survey ( Discussion: Responses demonstrate that organizations employ a wide range of tools to mitigate access to veterinary care barriers primarily along financial and geographical lines, and to a lesser extent with tools targeting cultural or disability-related barriers highlighting the importance of building capacity around addressing multiple intersecting barriers. Study findings provide a baseline characterization of current efforts by Canadian organizations to mitigate barriers to accessing animal healthcare.
