Presumptive Acute Post-Hypoxic Myoclonus Following Return of Spontaneous Circulation in a Cat and a Dog.
Article in Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care (San Antonio, Tex. : 2001). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo describe the clinical presentation of presumptive acute post-hypoxic myoclonus in a cat and a dog after cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). In people, acute post-hypoxic myoclonus is a transient focal, multifocal, or generalized rhythmic myoclonus that results from global hypoxic-ischemic brain injury and may be cortical or subcortical in origin, specifically brainstem-generated. Post-hypoxic myoclonus typically presents within 48 h of CPA while the patient is still comatose. Although this neurologic sign has historically been associated with a poorer prognosis, recent studies suggest that evaluation of its clinical characterization in conjunction with electroencephalographic features should be considered. CASE SERIES SUMMARY: We describe the cases of one cat and one dog that suffered CPA, underwent CPR, and experienced return of spontaneous circulation. Both cases developed presumed acute post-hypoxic myoclonus within 24 h of resuscitation, did not respond to antiseizure and sedative drugs, and were subsequently euthanized. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED: Acute post-hypoxic myoclonus can occur in cats and dogs after CPA and successful resuscitation.
