Clinical Impact of Measurement Timing on Intraocular Pressure in Dogs.
Article in Veterinary ophthalmology, 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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to determine whether intraocular pressure (IOP) varies with the timing of measurement after patient presentation and whether such differences significantly affect clinical interpretation. ANIMAL STUDIED: A total of 88 eyes from 44 dogs presenting for their first ophthalmologic examination were included. All IOP measurements were performed by the same examiner at a single institution. PROCEDURE(S): IOP was first measured immediately after history taking once the owner had left the examination room (IOP_0min). During the subsequent five minutes, Schirmer tear test-1 and neuro-ophthalmic examinations were performed, followed by a second IOP measurement (IOP_5min). IOP_0min, IOP_5min, and changes in IOP (ΔIOP) were analyzed according to sex, body weight, age, and visual status.
resultsThe mean IOP_0min was 16.55 ± 4.63 mmHg, and the mean IOP_5min decreased to 13.06 ± 3.44 mmHg (p < 0.001). Statistically significant IOP reduction was observed within all subgroups, including those divided according to sex, body weight, age, and visual status (all p < 0.001). Females and dogs weighing > 5 kg showed greater reductions in IOP compared to males and dogs weighing ≤ 5 kg (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed based on age or visual status.
conclusionsIOP decreases statistically significantly within minutes of patient presentation, and this reduction was observed across all subgroups. These findings highlight that the timing of IOP measurement should be standardized to ensure an accurate and reproducible assessment, ultimately allowing for precise evaluation of the patient's ocular condition.
