Risk association of Lawsonia intracellularis in commercial swine farms.
Article in Tropical animal health and production, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Lawsonia intracellularis and Brachyspira species are important enteric pathogens in commercial pig farming. Despite their importance, there is little information on the epidemiology and risk factors of these pathogens in Vietnam. Therefore, this study investigated the percentage of L. intracellularis, B. pilosicoli, and B. hyodysenteriae across 18 commercial pig farms in Vietnam and analyzed risk factors for L. intracellularis infection. Fecal samples were collected from pigs in three age groups, and bacterial DNA was analyzed using quantitative PCR. The study found a 100% percentage of L. intracellularis at the farm level, with 90.74% of individual samples testing positive. B. pilosicoli was detected in 27.78% of farms, while B. hyodysenteriae was not detected in any samples. Risk factor analysis revealed thatpost weaning diarrhea, direct contact between pig batches, and the presence of rats were significantly associated with L. intracellularis infection. Post-weaning frequently experience diarrhea had a 1.8 times higher risk than non-diarrhea, and direct contact between pigs increased infection risk by 10.29 times. The presence of rats also contributed to higher infection rates. These findings emphasize the importance of improved biosecurity, and effective management practices to control the spread of L. intracellularis in Vietnamese pig farms.
