Combined ophthalmic therapy and equine placental extract supplementation to treat corneal perforation in geriatric cats: A case report in the absence of surgical intervention.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Environmental changes affecting pet animals, along with an increase in age-related conditions and diseases among pets, have become increasingly evident. Despite this trend, there remains a paucity of research on therapeutic approaches for geriatric companion animals. Case Description: The case report describes a 19-year-old spayed female cat that was diagnosed with chronic renal failure and recurrent corneal disease. Surgical intervention was not pursued at the owner's request, leaving medical management as the only viable option. The patient's corneal condition deteriorated, culminating in corneal perforation. Upon initiation of equine placental extract supplementation alongside medical treatment, substantial improvements were observed in hyperaemia, ocular discomfort, and additional corneal manifestations, including wound severity, ocular discharge, photophobia, lacrimation, and blepharospasm. Conclusion: The integration of medical therapy with placental extract supplementation may represent a novel therapeutic alternative for geriatric cats ineligible for surgical intervention.
