Factors associated with antimicrobial drug prescription in inpatient dogs and cats at a veterinary teaching hospital.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundIdentifying factors associated with antimicrobial use in dogs and cats supports antimicrobial stewardship initiatives. HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesIdentify demographic, clinical, and treatment factors associated with prescribing systemic antimicrobial treatment in dogs and cats hospitalized at a small animal veterinary teaching hospital. ANIMALS: Inpatient dogs (n = 9112) with 10 749 admissions and inpatient cats (n = 3146) with 3684 admissions to a small animal teaching hospital.
methodsA veterinary-adapted Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model was used to analyze demographic, clinical, and prescription data from the electronic medical record system in this observational cross-sectional study. Using generalized estimating equations, we identified factors associated with systemic antimicrobial prescription during admission among inpatient dogs and cats from 2020 to 2022.
resultsIn dogs (mean age, 7.2 years; 47% females), factors associated with the highest odds of any antimicrobial prescription were history of surgery within the previous 10 days (odds ratio [OR], 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.67-3.45), surgery during admission (OR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.91-2.32), and venous sampling catheter placement (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.58-2.49), adjusted for all covariables in the model. In cats (mean age, 8.4 years; 38% females), factors associated with the highest odds of any antimicrobial prescription were venous sampling catheter placement (OR, 3.25; 95% CI, 2.09-5.06), surgery during admission (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.3-1.92), and admission duration (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.44-1.65), adjusted for all covariables in the model. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: We identified multiple factors associated with antimicrobial use in inpatient dogs and cats that can support benchmark development and veterinary antimicrobial stewardship efforts.
