Metabolic and cardiovascular effects of obesity in domestic cats.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Obesity in cats has become increasingly prevalent in clinical practice and is associated with several comorbidities and reduced longevity. However, data on metabolic alterations in overweight or obese cats remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate hematological, lipid profile, oxidative metabolism, and cardiovascular parameters in overweight and obese cats. A total of 42 neutered mixed-breed cats were included and divided into three groups (n = 14): control group, overweight group, and obese group. Animals were selected based on medical history, physical examination, complete blood count, FIV/FeLV serology, and biochemical profile; individuals with comorbidities were excluded. Evaluations included complete blood count, lipid profile, malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), erythrocyte osmotic fragility, electrocardiogram, and systemic blood pressure. Overweight cats showed significantly elevated cholesterol levels (179.93 ± 37.41 mg/dL; p = 0.003). Obese cats showed lymphopenia (1175 cells/µL; 871-2662), increased cholesterol (181.92 ± 27.78 mg/dL; p = 0.003), triglycerides (117 mg/dL; 80-211; p = 0.002), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) (30.7 ± 20 mg/dL; p = 0.001), and systolic blood pressure (160.3 ± 20.56 mmHg; p < 0.001) compared to the control group. In conclusion, feline obesity induces significant alterations in hematological, lipid, and cardiovascular parameters, indicating a relevant systemic impact.
