Nucleated red blood cells in critically ill cats.

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
ObjectivesThis study investigated the presence of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in the circulation as a prognostic factor in critically ill cats.MethodsCritically ill cats were prospectively included over 11 months if they fulfilled at least 3/4 systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria or if their general condition was severely reduced. All cats underwent a physical examination and blood collection for haematological and clinical chemical parameters, including NRBCs at admission and during hospitalisation. Outcome was defined as survival to 28 days after discharge from hospital. For manual microscopic NRBC count, 300 nucleated cells were examined and recorded as relative NRBC count (rNRBC). Absolute NRBC (aNRBC) numbers were calculated from those values: aNRBC = rNRBC × (white blood cell [WBC]/100).ResultsNRBCs, and most commonly metarubricytes, were detected in 25/94 critically ill cats. Primary underlying diseases were infectious (n = 10), neoplastic (n = 33), metabolic (n = 29), cardiovascular (n = 10), neurological (n = 5) and miscellaneous (n = 7). A positive correlation of absolute NRBCs with corrected WBCs (
