Development of Reference Intervals for the TEG 6s, a Point-of-Care Viscoelastic Assay, in Dogs.
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
backgroundThromboelastography (TEG) provides a global assessment of hemostasis and identifies patients with both hemorrhagic and thrombotic tendencies. Traditional TEG instruments, such as the TEG 5000 (Haemonetics), can be labor-intensive and require specialized training to operate. The TEG 6s (Haemonetics) is a commercially available point-of-care TEG that employs a cartridge-based system. Agreement between the TEG 6s and TEG 5000 is poor in dogs, and their viscoelastic measurements are not interchangeable. Reference intervals specific to the TEG 6s are needed for healthy adult dogs.
objectivesThis study aimed to establish reference intervals for the TEG 6s in healthy adult dogs.
methodsCitrated whole blood samples collected from 40 healthy adult dogs were analyzed using the TEG 6s and associated global hemostasis and lysis cartridges. Reference intervals were established using a nonparametric statistical method for all variables except for the Functional Fibrinogen level in the global hemostasis cartridge.
resultsReference intervals were established for 12 TEG 6s measurands in healthy adult dogs.
conclusionsThe results of this study provide reference intervals for TEG 6s variables associated with the global hemostasis and lysis cartridges in healthy adult dogs. Further studies are required to assess TEG 6s' utility in dogs with various disease states.
