Comparing Pharmacokinetics of Meloxicam When Administered With a Needle-Free Injection Device Versus Needle-And-Syringe in Piglets.
Article in Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics, 2026. 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
Meloxicam is a common analgesic for castration in pigs. While needle-free technology is effective for swine vaccination, its implementation for administering meloxicam has not been fully explored. The objective of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of meloxicam administered via a commercial needle-free injection device (NFID) and intramuscularly via needle-and-syringe (NS) in nursing piglets. Twenty-six nursing piglets were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups receiving the same approved label dosage of 0.4 mg/kg of meloxicam. Plasma meloxicam concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and PK profiles were measured using non-compartmental analysis. The results indicated C
