Primary surgical bleeding and platelet function are unchanged in heartworm-infected 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
Introduction: Heartworm-infected dogs may have changes in platelet function which can manifest as either perioperative bleeding or thrombosis, reflecting either a prothrombotic state from platelet hyperreactivity or hypocoagulability secondary to consumptive coagulopathy. We aimed to evaluate surgical bleeding in heartworm-infected dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy (OHE). Methods: Heartworm-infected (HWI, Results: Blood loss measured by surgical sponge weight did not differ between groups: median (25-75th percentile) was 7 g (6-10 g) in HWI dogs and 7 g (6.3-9.8 g) in UI dogs ( Discussion: HWI dogs did not experience increased incisional bleeding or quantifiable differences in platelet and coagulation function tests compared to UI dogs. HWI dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy in this study did not display tendencies for perioperative hemorrhage or thrombosis.
