Effect of intraoperative positioning on anesthetic variables in cats undergoing a perineal urethrostomy.

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
ObjectivesCats undergoing perineal urethrostomy (PU) often have acute kidney injury (AKI). Minimizing additional kidney injury during anesthesia is critical to prevent exacerbation of AKI. The impact of surgical positioning for PU on anesthetic variables is unknown. This study evaluated pre-, intra- and postoperative variables in cats undergoing PU in sternal (SR) or dorsal recumbency (DR). We hypothesized that there would not be a significant difference in anesthetic complications and postoperative serum creatinine (SCr) concentrations in cats positioned in SR compared with those positioned in DR.MethodsMedical records of 97 client-owned cats undergoing PU in SR (n = 55) or DR (n = 42) were retrospectively reviewed. Cats undergoing procedures in addition to PU were excluded. Data collection included signalment, number of preoperative obstructive episodes, pre- and postoperative SCr, surgical and anesthetic duration, drugs in the anesthetic regimen, and presence and duration of intraoperative hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, tachycardia, hypoventilation and hypothermia. Data were compared using Mann-Whitney U or Fisher's exact tests.ResultsA significant difference was detected in the number of preoperative obstructive episodes in cats undergoing PU in SR compared with DR (SR median episodes 2 [range 0-5], DR median episodes 2 [range 1-6];
