A survey study on surgical management of cat fractures in the State of Kuwait.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Bone fractures are a frequent problem in cats; however, no published information describing surgical bone injuries in cats in Kuwait is currently available. Aim: This study aimed to describe the distribution and basic outcomes of feline fractures treated surgically in a veterinary clinic in Kuwait over 1 year. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on the records of cats presented to the Gulf Pets Clinic, Kuwait City, from October 2024 to October 2025. Data collected included age, sex, breed, and fracture location. All patients had fractures confirmed by clinical examination and radiographic evaluation. A total of 325 cats were included in this study. Results: Male cats accounted for 63.7% of the cases, and 61.3% of the cats were younger than 3 years. Domestic and mixed-breed cats were most affected (54.8%), followed by Persian (17.2%) and Scottish Fold (7.4%) cats. The most frequently injured regions were the lumbar vertebrae (7.7%), pelvis (6.8%), femur (6.2%), humerus (6.2%), and mandible (4.6%). Most surgically managed fractures healed with good limb function restoration. Conclusion: This study provides the first description of fracture patterns in cats. These findings can serve as fundamental information for future clinical and epidemiological studies on cat injuries in the region. These results offer an updated insight into fracture patterns in cats in Kuwait and represent the first documented study that could lead to further research.
