Observations on the associations between damaging and aggressive behaviors, related lesions, and their implications for the welfare of pigs in the grower-finisher period.

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
Introduction: Pigs perform damaging and aggressive behaviors, but few studies investigated associations between behaviors and resulting lesions in intensive settings. We investigated such associations within and across production stages to understand implications for welfare, and interpreted cut-off values of behavior for use as warning signals. Methods: Four batches of 419 pigs each ( Results: High variability existed between pens for behaviors and percentage of pigs that developed new ear or tail lesions on arrival to grower II and finisher stage. There were significant correlations among the behaviors only within grower stage II (all behaviors: 0.65 ≤ r Discussion: This underscores the intricacies in developing cut-off values for warning signals and may relate to the cumulative effect of different risk factors. Thus, early identification and multifaceted management strategies tailored to specific pens are needed to address behaviors with adverse implications for pig welfare. This highlights the challenges and complexities of improving pig welfare within current intensive production settings.
