Association between signalment and clinical signs, and nasal and nasopharyngeal diseases type and localization in dogs and cats.
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
backgroundUpper respiratory tract diseases in companion animals encompass various diagnoses and anatomical localizations that are challenging to distinguish based solely on clinical signs. HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesAssess associations between signalment and clinical signs, and the localization and categories of nasal and nasopharyngeal diseases in dogs and cats. ANIMALS: A total of 396 client-owned animals (167 cats, 229 dogs) presented for nasal or nasopharyngeal disease at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Liège (Belgium) between 2018 and 2022.
methodsRetrospective observational cross-sectional study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to identify associations between signalment and clinical signs and disease type or localization.
resultsNasopharyngeal disease in cats was associated with stertor (odds ratio [OR], 10.1; 95%CI, 2.2-47.3; P = .003), dyspnea (OR, 6.5; 95%CI, 2.0-21.6; P = .002), absence of sneezing (OR, 0.1; 95%CI, 0.03-0.4; P < 0.001), and nasal discharge (OR, 0.04; 95%CI, 0.007-0.2; P < .001). In dogs, nasal and nasopharyngeal localizations were, respectively, associated with sneezing (OR, 95.6; 95%CI, 9.3-987.9; P < .001) and reverse sneezing (OR, 5.7; 95%CI, 1.3-25.2; P = .02). Although epistaxis was associated with both fungal rhinitis and nasal masses in dogs, only masses were associated with decreased nasal airflow (OR, 29.4; 95%CI, 8.1-106.9; P < .001), whereas it was preserved in fungal rhinitis (OR, 0.02; 95%CI, 0.003-0.15; P < .001). Systemic signs were observed in cats with nasal masses (OR, 7.3; 95%CI, 2.5-21.3; P < .001); in dogs, they were linked to fungal rhinosinusitis (OR, 26.1; 95%CI, 3.9-176.0; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Signalment and clinical signs provide valuable indicators for diagnosis and localization of nasal diseases in dogs and cats, which may guide clinical decision-making.
