Refinement of a colostrum-deprived pig model for infectious disease research.
Article in MethodsX, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Well-defined pig models are useful to study the pathogenicity of newly recognized pathogens or strains in pigs and serve as animal models for some human diseases. The conventional pig model, where research pigs are sourced from commercial high-health production systems, is commonly used due to the easiness of getting pigs in a timely manner. However, freedom of the pig for the pathogen of interest is important at study start and serological assays to screen pigs for antibodies against newly identified pathogens or molecular assays detecting all possible circulating pathogen variants may not yet exist. Using colostrum-deprived (CD) pigs is a good alternative strategy to circumvent passively-acquired immunity against the pathogen of interest or exposure to pathogens shortly after birth. However, CD pigs are difficult to rear as they are highly susceptible to infections, and mortality rates in the first few days of life are often very high. Herein we report on refinement of a CD pig model with consistent survival rates of 90-100% of the piglets. •Step-by-step protocol to derive and rear CD piglets with higher expected survival rates.•Pig housing improvement minimizes the risk of disease transmission.•Infectious virus disease research pig model purpose.
