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

Objective: The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the associations of age, sex, and breed with platelet count and function in domestic cats. Animals: Records of healthy cats (N = 93) undergoing platelet function testing at the OVC Comparative Hemostasis Lab (Guelph, Ontario) between 2012 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Procedure: For every cat, age, sex, breed, and platelet count were recorded. Platelet function was tested using the Plateletworks (PW) ADP system (Helena Laboratories) and the Platelet Function Analyzer-200 (PFA-200) (Siemens Healthineers) with Collagen/ADP (Col/ADP) and P2Y cartridges. Results: Platelet count was not associated with age, sex, or purebred status. The PW percent aggregation was negatively associated with age ( Conclusion: This study revealed that feline platelet function may be associated with age and purebred status but not sex. Clinical relevance: The degree of change was unlikely to be clinically relevant, but should be accounted for in future research studies. Platelet count was not related to signalment.
