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
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur in dogs and cats across diverse populations and regions. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we estimated the pooled prevalence of UTIs in dogs and cats with lower urinary tract diseases (LUTDs) or other illnesses and characterized the distribution of bacterial uropathogens. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science identified 887 articles, of which 18 were published up to October 2024, met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses using a random-effects model estimated a pooled prevalence of 26.1%. Prevalence was greater in dogs (44.6%) than in cats (18.6%), and higher in females (30.1%) than in males (14.6%), affecting all age groups. Single-pathogen infections predominated, with
