Oral chemotherapy agents in cats: clinical uses, administration and side effects.
Review in Journal of feline medicine and surgery, 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
practical relevanceCancer is a very common disease in cats, and many feline patients will require chemotherapy as part of their treatment plan, either as a sole agent or as part of multimodality therapy. Although some general practitioners might be reluctant to undertake injectable chemotherapy, oral chemotherapy may feel like a more acceptable treatment option to manage in practice. CLINICAL CHALLENGES: The small body size of many cats means that tablet sizes made for the human market are less appropriate, which creates dosing challenges. The administration of oral medication can also be a challenge in some cats. AUDIENCE: This review is aimed at general practitioners and other clinicians undertaking chemotherapy of feline cancer patients. It summarises the oral medications available for use, their therapeutic indications, dosing strategies, side effects, and health and safety aspects. EVIDENCE BASE: The review includes information from past and recent veterinary literature on the use of oral cytotoxic drugs in cats. PATIENT GROUP: Oral cytotoxic medications may be used in cats for a variety of tumour types, of which haematopoietic tumours, such as lymphoma, would be the most common.
