Effects of anti-gonadotropin-releasing factor vaccination and administration age on the meat characteristics of pork loins from finishing gilts.
Article in Veterinary and animal science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This pilot study evaluated the effects of anti-gonadotropin-releasing factor (anti-GnRF) vaccination and administration age on gilts (female pigs), with a specific focus on meat characteristics, including nutritional composition, meat quality, and the muscle histology of pork loins. A total of 66 Duroc × (Landrace × Large White) gilts were randomly assigned to three experimental groups: (1) intact gilts; (2) immunized gilts receiving a typical vaccination at 12 and 16 weeks of age; and (3) immunized gilts receiving early vaccination at 9 and 13 weeks of age, which is the earliest schedule recommended by the manufacturer. The pigs were slaughtered at the market age of 24 weeks, with meat samples collected from all of the groups for analysis, including meat samples from intact gilts (MIG), meat from gilts vaccinated at 12 and 16 weeks (MV12/16), and meat from gilts vaccinated at 9 and 13 weeks (MV9/13). Meat from the immunized gilts had significantly higher intramuscular fat (IMF) content than MIG (
