Evaluation of the PA-100 AST system (Sysmex) for point-of-care analysis of bacteriuria and antibiotic susceptibility testing in dogs and cats.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 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
Bacterial presence in urine (bacteriuria) is frequently observed in dogs and cats and may be associated with urinary tract infection (UTI), depending on the clinical context. However, no in-house test for the rapid detection of bacteriuria and subsequent antibiotic susceptibility tests (AST) is yet available. The Sysmex PA-100 AST System (PA-100) is a point-of-care (POC) analyzer using nanofluidic cartridges designed for the detection of bacteria and performance of AST directly from voided urine in female patients with cystitis symptoms. In this study, we tested the suitability of the PA-100 to detect UTIs and perform AST on veterinary samples. In total, 363 urine samples from dogs (
