Commercial boar development and management: a review of strategies.
Review in Translational animal 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
While boars constitute a relatively small portion (less than 0.005%) of the total swine herd, they have significant genetic influence on the swine population. An individual boar has the potential to sire thousands of offspring every year, yet when it comes to science-based recommendations for boar development from weaning to puberty, there is little in the way of recommendations. Similarly, the management and nutritional recommendations of today's boar population are based on studies that may not be relevant to current genetics or based on recommendations for gilts and sows. Historically with rapid genetic turnover in boar studs there has been little pressure to produce research in this area. However, with boar studs reporting increasing incidence of lameness and health related removals, rising developmental costs, and a need to maintain herd fertility it has created opportunities to increase the scientific understanding of boar development and management. In this literature review, we aim to overview development and management of commercial boars in the United States and highlight what is understood in the way of science-based research.
