Increasing Dietary Potassium Enhances Urine Production and Reduces Risk of Calcium Oxalate Stone Formation in Senior Cats.

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
The objective of these three studies was to determine if dietary potassium supplementation affects urine production or calcium oxalate (CaOx) relative supersaturation (RSS) in adult cats. In the first study, control cats were fed dry food containing 1.08% potassium (as fed), and treatment cats were fed control food supplemented with KCl (1.95% potassium) for 21 days. In study two, cats were fed one of three treatment foods for two weeks in a three-period crossover study design (control food containing 0.84% potassium, and treatment foods containing control food supplemented with KCl at 1.35% or 1.81% potassium). In study three, control and treatment cats were fed similarly to study one, with each experimental period lasting two weeks in a crossover study design. In study one, urine production (
