Respiratory rate and breathing pattern in dogs and cats in intensive care units and the value of camera surveillance.
Article in The Journal of small animal practice, 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
objectivesInformation on respiratory rate and breathing pattern of dogs and cats in intensive care units is limited. This study aimed to evaluate whether respiratory rate differed in dogs and cats in the intensive care unit when monitored via camera surveillance (Cam+) compared to traditional cage-side monitoring (Cam-) at various times during the intensive care unit stay, between animals treated for left-sided congestive heart failure, respiratory diseases and other conditions, and if associations existed between respiratory rate and breathing pattern. MATERIALS AND
methodsPrivately owned dogs (n = 41) and cats (n = 60) treated and monitored in the intensive care units of two small animal hospitals were enrolled in this study. The animals' respiratory rate and breathing pattern were observed with Cam- and Cam+ throughout their intensive care unit stay.
resultsFor both species, median respiratory rate throughout the entire intensive care unit stay was lower when measured with Cam+ (dogs: 30/min, cats: 27/min) compared to Cam- (dogs: 34/min, cats: 31/min) and lower closer to discharge, when observed with both Cam+ (dogs: 22/min, cats: 26/min) and Cam- (dogs: 24/min, cats: 27/min), compared to 1 hour after admission (Cam+; dogs: 38/minutes, cats: 31/minutes and Cam-; dogs: 37/minutes, cats: 36/minutes). Animals with left-sided congestive heart failure or respiratory disease had higher respiratory rate than those with other conditions and animals with anormal breathing pattern had higher respiratory rate than those with normal breathing pattern. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Respiratory rates were influenced by monitoring technique, clinical condition, time point and breathing pattern. Camera surveillance of respiratory rate may be valuable for monitoring treatment outcomes in animals admitted to intensive care unit.
