Radiographic and Ultrasonographic Study of the Etiology of High-Rise Syndrome in Cats: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 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
backgroundHigh-rise syndrome (HRS) is a common traumatic presentation in cats.
objectiveThis study evaluated the etiology, frequency and types of radiographic and sonographic lesions associated with HRS in 120 cats.
methodsInformation regarding the circumstances of the falls was collected from the owners. The data were analysed to identify causative factors, types and frequency of injuries.
resultsIt was found that most affected patients were under 1 year old and the majority of cases fell from the third floor. Approximately 75% of cats had a history of high-risk behaviours, as reported by the owners. Femoral fractures were the most frequent skeletal injury (17.5%), while thoracolumbar spinal injuries (T13-L1) were observed in 50% of cases of vertebral column injuries. Pulmonary contusions and haemorrhage were the most common soft tissue injuries, occurring in 45% of cases. No significant correlation was found between fall height and injury severity; however, higher injury severity was associated with increased mortality. The overall survival rate was 92.5%.
conclusionPreventive measures, such as restricting access to windows and balconies, are recommended to reduce the incidence of HRS.
