Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease in Cats After Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass Placement Compared to Cats With Idiopathic Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common sequela of ureteral obstruction, but many cats are non-azotemic after subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) placement.
objectivesCompare CKD progression rates after SUB placement with idiopathic CKD (iCKD), and explore variables associated with progression. ANIMALS: Seventy-one referred cats after SUB placement for ureteral obstruction and 89 primary care cats with iCKD.
methodsRetrospective observational longitudinal study. Baseline (3-6 months after SUB or at CKD diagnosis for iCKD cases) clinicopathological data and CKD progression (≥ 25% increase in creatinine concentration [Cr]) rates were compared between iCKD and SUB cats. Univariable logistic regression identified variables associated with SUB cat CKD progression.
resultsBaseline Cr was lower in the SUB group (SUB, 2.0 mg/dL; iCKD, 2.3 mg/dL; p = 0.01). For SUB cats with a ≥ 25% increase in Cr within 1 year, 45% (9/20) had SUB obstruction. Of the remaining 11 cats, 35% had a positive urine culture. Only SUB blockage was associated with CKD progression in SUB cats (odds ratio, 33.33; confidence interval [CI], 3.80-292.60; p = 0.002). Progression of CKD within 1 year did not differ between groups (iCKD, 29.5%; SUB, 28.1%; p = 0.85), even after exclusion of obstructed cases (iCKD, 29.5%; SUB, 17.7%; p = 0.12). Median time to CKD progression was not different between groups (iCKD, 833 days; range, 21-2141; SUB, 653 days; range, 43-1662; p = 0.80). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Progression of CKD after SUB placement occurs with similar frequency and time frame as in cats with iCKD, but should prompt assessment for SUB blockage and pyelonephritis.
