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

INTRODUCTION/

objectivesThe purpose of this descriptive study was to strengthen understanding of the human-animal bond and the impact of One Health Clinics (OHCs) on the communities they serve. We aimed to assess how joint access to veterinary care and human health services enables community members to engage with healthcare for themselves.

methodsIndividuals attending 2 OHCs in the United States were surveyed to gain insight into reasons for attending OHCs, attitudes on the human-animal bond, healthcare access and utilization, and pet owner satisfaction and trust toward medical and veterinary professionals. Both clinics operated in areas with limited medical and veterinary healthcare access, but varied in clinic structure and availability of human healthcare volunteers.

resultsA total of 175 surveys were analyzed. Most participants attended primarily for veterinary services (Clinic A: 91%, Clinic B: 75%). However, a significantly higher proportion of Clinic B participants received health screenings (91% vs 32%,

conclusionsThese findings suggest that OHCs have the potential to enhance access to human healthcare in underserved communities by utilizing veterinary services as a point of engagement. Participants reported a strong bond with their pet. Based on reported levels of trust and satisfaction, the OHC model may help strengthen relationships between underserved communities and human healthcare and veterinary professionals.
