Perspective: challenges and research opportunities to enhance African Swine Fever control in the Philippines.
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. 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
African Swine Fever (ASF) is recognized as one of the most significant transboundary swine diseases due to its high mortality rate, rapid regional spread, and devastating economic consequences. Since its initial outbreak in July 2019, ASF has afflicted the Philippine swine industry for over 6 years. The implications of the epidemic extend beyond animal health, severely impacting the national pork supply chain and causing environmental concerns. In response, the Philippine government has implemented numerous policies for ASF management and control to support swine industry recovery. However, despite these substantial financial and logistical efforts, ASF remains prevalent, with frequent reemergence in many regions across the country. This perspective paper presents the outcomes of a collaborative workshop with the Philippine College of Swine Practitioners (PCSP), held in Batangas, Philippines, in November 2024. During this initiative, 40 local veterinary experts identified and ranked the most pressing challenges hindering current ASF control. Among the highest-ranked priorities were: (1) the role of intermediaries within the complex swine supply chain, (2) the inconsistent enforcement of guidelines across local government units, and (3) the underreporting of cases due to a lack of relevant local incentives. The resulting prioritizations offer valuable, field-level insights for refining national control strategies and hold significant relevance for neighboring countries facing similar struggles with ASF.
