Characteristics of rabbit farms in southern Benin.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of rabbit farming in southern Benin. A thorough survey was carried out on a total of eighty (80) rabbit farms, and the data collected from these farms were then analyzed. As a result of this analysis, three (03) distinct groups of farmers were identified and characterized. Group 1 consisted of rabbit farmers who possessed more a university-level education. These individuals raised their rabbits in cement-built structures, in structures constructed from wood, earthen materials, or metal and mainly encountered pathological problems. Group 2 consisted of individuals with a primary level of education, possessing basic literacy skills, and maintaining rabbits in wooden structures. The farmers within this group encountered issues pertaining to pathology, feeding, habitat and waste management. Group 3 consisted mainly of rabbit breeders with varying levels of education, ranging from primary to university-level. These farmers housed their rabbits in structures constructed from cement and metal. The farmers within this group encountered issues pertaining to pathology, feeding and waste management. The predominant material used for the cages was metal, accounting for 93.7% of the cages, while nest boxes were found in 95% of these cages. The rabbits were provided with concentrated feed, occasionally supplemented with forage, by the farmers. However, they encountered various challenges primarily linked to diseases and feeding practices. Gastroenteritis, scabies, and viral hemorrhagic disease (VHD) were among the most common diseases that negatively impacted farm productivity. The occurrence of these diseases significantly diminished the numerical productivity of the farms, resulting in an inadequate production to satisfy the demand. As a consequence, selling products like live rabbits and rabbit carcasses became more convenient for the farmers. In conclusion, in order to effectively address the challenges that impede the development of rabbit farming in groups 2, it would be advantageous to consider implementing additional enhancements in practices.
