1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to report changes in serum creatinine and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) concentrations after treatment of feline hyperthyroidism with anti thyroid medications and to compare these biomarkers at baseline between cats that were and were not azotaemic after treatment.MethodsIn this retrospective study, hyperthyroid cats that were euthyroid (total thyroxine [TT4] concentration 7-40 nmol/l) at 1 month (T1) and/or 2-9 months (T2) after treatment were identified and grouped by renal status defined by serum creatinine concentrations. Comparisons were made using non-parametric statistics and the correlations assessed using Spearman's correlation coefficient. Data are presented as median (minimum-maximum).ResultsA total of 19 hyperthyroid cats were included. At baseline, TT4 was negatively correlated with serum concentration of creatinine (
