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: The term supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is used to describe tachydysrhythmias originating from structures at or above the atrioventricular (AV) node. While sustained SVT is uncommon in dogs, it is potentially a life-threatening arrhythmia. Electrophysiology (EP) studies and radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) as a way of characterising the cause of SVT and as a definitive treatment are well described in humans and animals alike. In dogs, EP and RFCA are performed under general anaesthesia; anaesthetic management and associated complications associated with EP and RFCA in canine patients are poorly described. Objectives: This study aimed to describe anaesthetic management and evaluate peri-operative complications in dogs undergoing general anaesthesia for EP studies and RFCA for treatment of SVT at a single referral hospital. Methods: A retrospective review of the anaesthetic and hospital records of 44 dogs that underwent EP studies and RFCA at a single, referral hospital in the UK, between 2014 and 2024, was performed. Data collected included signalment, clinical findings, anaesthetic protocols, and parameters, as well as intraoperative and peri-operative complications. Results: The most common breed was the Labrador Retriever (47.7%), with a median age of 30 months (5-95 months). Anaesthetic management included premedication with a pure Discussion: EP studies and RFCA for SVT in dogs can be performed under general anaesthesia with a low incidence of major or catastrophic complications.
