Transient high-output heart failure documented by echocardiographic cardiac index measurement in a pregnant cat.

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
A female cat (approximately 3 weeks of gestation) was referred for respiratory distress and pleural effusion. Echocardiography revealed dilation of the left atrium and left ventricle, and the cardiac index was markedly elevated (0.39 L/kg/min), raising suspicion for high-output heart failure (HOHF). The cat was treated with furosemide and enrofloxacin. Pleural effusion completely resolved in late pregnancy, and 45 days after delivery the cardiac index decreased to 0.22 L/kg/min. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing a transient HOHF associated with pregnancy in a cat, highlighting the clinical utility of echocardiographic cardiac index measurement for identifying this condition. Further accumulation of cases is needed to better characterise this condition in feline patients.
