Progress and challenges in pet management in disasters: recommended strategies for developing countries - a scoping review.
Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundThe increasing trend of pet ownership presents a new set of challenges for disaster management. Many disaster programs currently focus on human populations but overlook the role of pets during emergencies. This research investigates the current progress and challenges surrounding pet management during disasters, aiming to inform forward-looking strategies in disaster management.
methodA scoping review was conducted to gather insights on advances and challenges of pet management in disasters. The researchers searched several major databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed) and identified articles that specifically focused on pets in disaster contexts. After screening articles for relevance, 57 articles met the inclusion criteria for the review.
resultFrom an initial 2,532 articles, the authors narrowed down their findings by removing duplicates, resulting in 694 unique studies. Further screening led to 111 articles for in-depth review, and finally, 57 articles were selected for inclusion. The findings were categorized into two main themes: “Challenges of pet management in disaster” including four sub-themes and “Recommendations for pet management in disasters” with four sub-themes.
conclusionsThe study’s conclusions center on psychological theories, specifically the Trans-theoretical Model and Protection Motivation Theory. These frameworks highlight the importance of understanding pet owners’ behaviors, particularly their stages of change (how they prepare for and respond to disasters) and perceived sensitivity toward their pets. Addressing these psychological factors could significantly improve the safety and evacuation of pets during emergencies.
