Implementation of a low-flow intervention at a veterinary teaching hospital: an environmental initiative.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Inhalational anaesthetics such as isoflurane and sevoflurane are widely used in veterinary medicine, but are potent greenhouse gases that contribute substantially to climate change. Low-flow anaesthetic techniques are recommended to minimise their environmental impact, yet their adoption in veterinary practice remains uncertain. This study evaluated the environmental benefits of implementing a standardised low-flow anaesthesia protocol at a veterinary teaching hospital as part of a sustainability initiative. Anaesthetic records from 120 procedures before and 120 after the intervention were analysed to compare FGF rates and volatile agent use during the maintenance phase. The intervention included staff education, email correspondence, visual aids, and a standardised low-flow protocol. Post-intervention, mean FGF decreased by 52% (from 1.27 to 0.61 L/min), corresponding to a proportional 52% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (from 4.24 to 2.03 kg CO
