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 study was conducted in a Portuguese slaughterhouse for finishing pigs. A total of 93 batches with an average slaughter weight of 93.3 kg (±0.6) were assessed in the lairage pens using the qualitative behavior assessment (QBA) tool to evaluate both positive and negative descriptors. Social interaction behaviors and the physical conditions of pigs in each batch were also measured. Physical examination revealed that pigs with body condition scores of 4 or 5 were less active and playful, presenting negative correlations with these descriptors. Groups of pigs at rest showed negative correlations (
