Air Quality Assessment in Pig Farming: The Italian Classyfarm.
Review in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
On 24 September 2019, the Ministry of Health issued an explanatory circular containing clarifications on the implementation methods of the National Improvement Plan for the application of Legislative Decree 122/2011. The Plan states that "In all farms where weaning or fattening pigs are raised and in breeding farms which wean piglets (excluding those for self-consumption), a risk assessment is carried out by the veterinarian on the basis of three levels: insufficient, room for improvement and optimal". ClassyFarm, a risk assessment tool for livestock farming, is applied in Italy to evaluate the level of welfare and management of animals from a variety of points of view. Essentially, the categorization risk introduced by ClassyFarm in pig farming depended on the obligation stated by the EU in Decree 122/2011 to avoid tail docking in piglets and, at the same time, to reduce the stressor aspects able to induce aggressive behavior among pigs, improving the welfare and health status of animals. Since ClassyFarm evaluates many aspects of the management of animal farming, our aims in this review are to discuss the topic from an environmental point of view: (1) to frame the indications of ClassyFarm to make a farm risk assessment based on pigs' welfare; (2) to review environmental quality assessment in pig farms, and its repercussions on animal health and welfare; (3) to describe the most used sampling techniques of air pollutants measurements.
