Antibiotics use and ethnoveterinary practices in pig farming: an insight from federal capital territory, Nigeria.

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
Pig farming is a crucial component of global livestock production, contributing to food security, economic growth, and rural livelihoods. However, the misuse of antibiotics in livestock farming has raised serious concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a global health crisis threatening both human and animal health. Ethnoveterinary medicine remains widely practiced but lacks scientific validation and integration into conventional veterinary systems. This study assessed the demographic characteristics, antibiotic use, and ethnoveterinary practices among pig farmers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey of 40 pig farmers was conducted using structured questionnaires, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests for association. Results showed that pig farming in FCT is male-dominated (67.5%), with most farmers (52.5%) aged 41-60 years and having only primary education (52.5%). Antibiotic use was widespread, 90% of farmers administered antibiotics, with oxytetracycline, penicillin, and amoxicillin being most commonly used. Self-administration was common (72.5%), and a significant association was found between antibiotic administration and frequency of use (χ
