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
This study aims to describe the clinical presentation, treatment and outcomes of cats diagnosed with spontaneous hemoperitoneum and to identify factors associated with survival to discharge. Medical records from 2005 to 2024 were searched and data was reviewed retrospectively. Clinical, diagnostic and treatment variables were evaluated for their association with survival to discharge. Seventy-three cats were included. The most common presenting clinical signs at diagnosis were lethargy, hyporexia and collapse. Hemoperitoneum was most often originating from the liver (41 cats), the spleen (19 cats) and pancreas (three cats), with forty-two cats requiring transfusion of blood products. Twenty-two cats (30%) underwent surgery while 21 cats (29%) were managed conservatively, and 30 (41%) cats were euthanized at presentation or diagnosis. Neoplasia was the most common diagnosis (50 cats, 68.5%) with hemangiosarcoma being most common. The most common non-neoplastic conditions included amyloidosis (eight cats) and hepatic vacuolar hepatopathy (three cats). Overall survival to discharge was 38%. Surgery was the only variable associated with survival to discharge (
