Feline Peritoneal Effusions-A Poor Prognosis?
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. 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
Feline ascites has been reported to have a poor prognosis, with a median survival time of 21 days (considering all etiologies). However, previous studies included relatively small populations (<100 cases) and there is no literature evaluating the prognosis of all causes of feline ascites within the last 20 years. This study aimed to assess the survival times of a large population of cats presenting with ascites and assess the effect of the effusion cause, signalment, clinicopathological and imaging findings on survival. Data was acquired from the medical record system of a referral hospital (including both referrals and first-opinion emergency cases). Four hundred and ninety-eight cats met the inclusion criteria and 55% of all cases survived to discharge. Median survival time post-discharge was 30.5 days. The cause of the effusion was significantly associated with survival to discharge (
