Ocular Abnormalities in 127 Cats Presented for Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER) Examination in the United States and Canada.
Article in Veterinary ophthalmology, 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
STUDY
objectiveTo investigate the prevalence and clinical appearance of ocular abnormalities in a US and Canadian population of cats registered with the Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER) between 2013 and 2023.
methodsAll complete (131) feline CAER exam forms from 2013 to 2023 in the OFA database, were reviewed. Available pedigrees of cats included in this study were also investigated. The central tendencies and dispersion data were reported.
resultsThe population consisted of 113 Bengal, six British Shorthair, two each Maine Coon, and Norwegian Forest, and one each Domestic Shorthair, Ragamuffin, Siberian, and Sphynx cats. Four cats had serial CAER examinations performed. Twenty-two (20%) Bengal cats had normal ophthalmic exams, and 91 (80%) had abnormalities noted. Eighty-one (72%) of the Bengal cats had cataract(s) noted, of which the characteristics varied widely. DISCUSSION: Suggestive of a possible hereditary basis, there was a high prevalence of young Bengal cats presented for CAER examinations between 2013 and 20233 that had functionally incidental cataracts that were expected to be essentially nonprogressive. Most of the noted feline cataracts were bilateral, symmetric, punctate or incipient, and nuclear or posterior. Very minimal pedigree information received supported a possible hereditary basis of cataracts among the British Shorthair cats, but was insufficient to confirm this or apply to the entire study population.
