Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate as a Monitoring Marker in the Canine Intensive Care Unit.
Article in Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care (San Antonio, Tex. : 2001). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo (1) establish whether the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at admission is related to mortality in dogs hospitalized in the ICU; (2) observe and evaluate the ESR trend during 48-72 h of hospitalization and determine how it relates to mortality; and (3) test whether ESR is a marker of sepsis.
designProspective study using residual K3-EDTA blood samples of hospitalized dogs.
settingICU of a university teaching hospital. ANIMALS: A total of 124 hospitalized dogs were included in the study. Sixty of the 124 dogs were used to test whether ESR is a marker of sepsis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsThe ESR was measured on residual EDTA blood samples collected from hospitalized dogs as part of clinical evaluation. A total of 32 dogs died during hospitalization, while 92 were discharged. The ESR at admission (T0) was significantly higher in nonsurvivors (28 mm/h) compared with survivors (11 mm/h) (p = 0.03). Forty-one dogs had ESR monitored at T1 (24 h postadmission) and T2 (48-72 h postadmission). An increase in the ESR from T0 to T2 was seen in nonsurvivors (p < 0.01; medians: T0, 22 mm/h, T1, 37 mm/h, T2, 42 mm/h). Survivors showed a decrease in the ESR from T0 to T2 (p < 0.01; medians: T0, 12 mm/h, T1, 14 mm/h, T2, 5 mm/h). Twenty-eight dogs were diagnosed with sepsis and had a higher ESR than nonseptic dogs (35 vs. 10 mm/h; p < 0.0001). A cutoff of 22 mm/h may differentiate septic dogs from nonseptic dogs, with a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 81% (area under the curve = 0.8; p < 0.0001).
conclusionsThe ESR at admission can predict the mortality of hospitalized dogs. Its monitoring during hospitalization may add prognostic information. Given the challenges involved in screening septic patients, point-of-care testing may easily evaluate the ESR when used alongside other indicators.
