Assessing client needs in community veterinary care: a case study from WisCARES.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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
As community veterinary clinics expand across the United States, there is a growing recognition that services need to be aligned with the specific needs of clients and their companion animals, which may vary from one community to the next. WisCARES Community Clinic, which has served low-income pet owners in Dane County, Wisconsin for over a decade, conducted a comprehensive needs assessment in the summer of 2024 to re-evaluate the support required by its clientele. Through an interviewer-administered survey of 51 clients, conducted either in person or by phone, the study identified key areas for assistance. Clients most frequently reported needing support with pet food, treats, pet cleaning supplies, and dental care items, as well as access to affordable grooming services. In addition, many clients expressed a need for help navigating social services and securing reliable transportation. These findings highlight that clients experiencing poverty require more than basic veterinary care to maintain the health and well-being of their pets. While local contexts vary, this assessment offers valuable insight for other community veterinary programs seeking to allocate limited resources to where they will have the greatest impact.
