Exploring Cardiorespiratory Resilience and Mobility as Indicators of Physical Fitness Under Individualised Therapy Intervals in Obese Dogs.

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
Obesity in dogs is an increasing health and animal welfare problem as it is associated with numerous secondary diseases and reduced life span. While the causes and consequences of obesity are well documented, the change in cardiorespiratory resilience and mobility parameters in addition to weight loss has rarely been studied. The aim of this study was to analyse the change effects during individualised obesity therapy intervals in accordance with the current state of research on canine obesity and on physical fitness. In a prospective single-arm, non-randomised study without a control arm, 13 obese dogs (Body condition score (BCS) ≥ 7/9) were included. To assess mobility, a submaximal fitness test and gait analysis on a treadmill were performed before and after therapy. The dogs reduced their body weight by 15.26 ± 4.99%. After weight loss, the dogs showed statistically significantly lower heart rates and lactate values, as well as higher pCO
