Urine protein electrophoresis analysis in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
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
backgroundSerum biomarkers can underestimate renal damage in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesTo identify differences in proteinuria patterns between dogs with and without SIRS using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and evaluate its value as an early diagnostic and prognostic indicator. ANIMALS: Client-owned, proteinuric dogs with (n = 10) and without (n = 21) SIRS.
methodsIn this retrospective study, urine electropherograms from SDS-PAGE were used to identify and quantify low molecular weight (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) protein bands. The LMW/HMW ratio was calculated for each dog and analyzed for correlations with the acute patient physiologic and laboratory evaluation (APPLE) full (APPLEfull) and fast (APPLEfast) scores and death within 2, 4, and 8 weeks.
resultsThe LMW/HMW ratio and the proportion of proteins with molecular weights of 20-30 kDa were significantly higher in the SIRS than in the non-SIRS group (P < .001 and P = .018). The LMW/HMW ratio correlated with inflammatory (C-reactive protein, globulin, white blood cell, and band neutrophil counts) and renal markers (blood urea nitrogen and symmetric dimethylarginine; rho = 0.381-0.786, all P < .05). The LMW/HMW ratio showed a high predictive value for death within 2 (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.844, 95%CI, 0.597-1.091), 4 (AUC = 0.867, 95%CI, 0.682-1.041), and 8 weeks (AUC = 0.944, 95%CI, 0.802-1.087). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: An increased LMW/HMW ratio, reflecting elevated LMW proteinuria, can be a reliable diagnostic and prognostic indicator for early renal damage in dogs with SIRS.
