Capture of isoflurane from anaesthetised dogs and cats following methadone, medetomidine and ketamine administration.

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
backgroundVolatile anaesthetic agents contribute to climate change, and reducing this impact is a commendable ambition. We evaluated the efficiency of a veterinary capture device for isoflurane (VET-can/VET-dock, SageTech Veterinary) in anaesthetised cats and dogs.
methodsPurposeful sampling was used to recruit enough animals undergoing isoflurane general anaesthesia to fill one VET-can to at least 95% capacity. The vaporiser and VET-can were weighed pre- and post-anaesthesia to determine in vivo mass transfer (MT) of isoflurane and water. The primary outcomes were capture efficiency (isoflurane delivered: desorbed, %) and in vivo MT. The secondary outcomes were associations between MT and patient characteristics and anaesthesia variables.
resultsThirty anaesthetics (21 cats and nine dogs) were required to fill the VET-can to capacity. The overall capture efficiency was 81% isoflurane with 4% water' as it's the isoflurane capture efficiency that matters here and the water capture explains the difference in overall efficiency and MT. LIMITATIONS: Interchangeable use of sidestream and mainstream capnography resulted in a difference in times to end-tidal isoflurane 0%.
conclusionsCapture efficiency was 81%. The device prevented a mean release of 3.2 kgCO
