Assessing the effect of orally administered Ivermectin on viremia and shedding of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in growing pigs under field conditions.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 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
Despite more than three decades of research and improved biosecurity, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) still causes major economic losses to the swine industry. The continued losses, especially in growing-pig populations, prompt exploration of adjunct therapies. This longitudinal field study evaluated whether orally delivered Ivermectin (0.3 mg/kg in four two-day pulses) mitigates PRRSV in a 2,400 wean-to-market barn. Treated pens recorded numerically fewer PRRSV-positive pens during the first 17 days post-weaning, as determined by oral-fluid (OF) RT-qPCR, and lower mean log₁₀ viral copies in OF at eight of nine weekly samplings across 68 days. Serum RT-qPCR, however, revealed numerically higher viremia in treated pigs. These findings warrant further studies using better trial settings or different dosing strategies.
