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
ObjectivesThis study aimed to compare the prevalence and time to resolution of azotaemia between male cats presented with initial and recurrent urethral obstruction (UO), and to evaluate risk factors for extended duration of urethral catheterisation and hospitalisation.MethodsA multicentre, retrospective study of male cats that underwent urethral catheterisation for UO was conducted. Cats were excluded if they did not have a UO on presentation, had previously diagnosed chronic kidney disease, had incomplete medical records or if they were referred by another clinic after decompression. Prevalence of azotaemia (serum or plasma creatinine >140 µmol/l) and time to resolution were compared between cats with initial and recurrent UO. Risk factors evaluated for extended duration of catheterisation and hospitalisation included signalment, history of UO, history of lower urinary tract signs (LUTS), diet, recent medications, lifestyle (indoor-only or indoor-outdoor), housing status (single or multi-cat) and azotaemia on presentation.ResultsCats were less likely to be azotaemic on presentation if they had a history of UO (
