Animal protection and mass depopulation.
Article in The Canadian veterinary journal = La revue veterinaire canadienne, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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 case study-based paper outlines the thought processes linked to the ethical decision in Canadian animal protection work, about when a case warrants investigation as an offence under provincial animal protection legislation and when it is a criminal code offence. Conflict of laws and jurisdiction as well as prosecutorial discretion give us cause to consider whether methods of mass depopulation of animals in emergency situations can breach prohibitions against animal cruelty. The current practice of overheating enclosed holding facilities to intentionally kill pigs by induced heat stroke is, in the authors' opinions, an action consistent with a general understanding of animal cruelty.
