Assessing Cat Welfare: A Literature Review on Behavioural, Physiological and Health Parameters with a Focus on Animal-Assisted Services (AAS).
Review in Veterinary sciences, 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
Cat welfare assessment in Animal-assisted aervices (AAS) is necessary to ensure engagement in AAS does not impair welfare. An initial systematic search conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines revealed a complete lack of studies specifically addressing this topic. Consequently, a second-step search was performed, widened to the existing tools for monitoring cat welfare in general. Three scoping reviews using PRISMA guidelines were performed, focusing on the three principal fields of welfare assessment: health, behaviour, and physiology/endocrinology. Studies published on Scopus in 2011-2026, written in English and assessing feline (
