1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the prevalence of hypocobalaminaemia (B12 <400 pg/ml) and hypercobalaminaemia (B12 >1000 pg/ml), describe the clinicopathological abnormalities and the diagnostic imaging findings in a referral population of cats in the UK, and identify the underlying disease processes associated with both conditions.MethodsA retrospective study of cats that had their serum cobalamin concentration assessed between December 2016 and December 2023 at a single referral hospital; 216 cats were included. Patient outcome was established from the clinical records.ResultsA total of 76 (35%) cats had hypocobalaminaemia and 67 (31%) cats had hypercobalaminaemia. The most common diagnoses were chronic enteropathy (CE) in 39/76 (51%) hypocobalaminaemic cats and 39/67 (58%) hypercobalaminaemic cats (
