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
objectivesAcetate (ACE) and lactate (LAC)-containing balanced resuscitation fluids are commonly used for fluid therapy in cats. These fluids can influence acid-base and electrolyte status. This prospective randomised study compared two balanced crystalloid solutions regarding their effect on acid-base status, electrolytes and LAC concentrations in dehydrated cats after intravenous fluid therapy.
methodsA total of 100 client-owned cats presenting to the emergency service with dehydration ⩾5% due to diarrhoea, vomiting or anorexia were included in this study. They were randomised to receive either ACE- (Sterofundin ISO; B Braun Vet Care) or LAC-containing (Ringer-Laktat nach Hartmann; B. Braun Vet Care) fluids for rehydration. Exclusion criteria were age <6 months, severe electrolyte abnormalities, severely increased creatinine or bolus therapy, and decompensated heart disease and liver diseases. Vital parameters were assessed and venous blood gas analysis was performed before and after fluid therapy. Data were analysed using the Mann-Whitney U-test and the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test. The significance level was set at
resultsPost-rehydration pH normalised, and bicarbonate and base excess increased in both groups. Anion gap and LAC and potassium concentrations decreased in both groups. No difference in electrolyte, acid-base status and LAC was observed between cats receiving ACE and cats receiving LAC. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Both fluids have similar effects on dehydrated cats' acid-base status and electrolyte and LAC concentrations. No significant differences in values were found between ACE- and LAC-containing resuscitation fluids. Blood LAC concentration decreased in both groups.
