Synergistic effects of multi-strain probiotics and Chinese herbal medicine on growth performance and gut health in weaned piglets.
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 3 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
Background: Weaning stress represents a considerable challenge in global swine production. While probiotics and Chinese herbal medicine have been extensively studied as individual interventions, their combined application as alternative feed additives in swine production requires further investigation. Methods: Forty-five weaned piglets (35 ± 3 days old) were randomly allocated to five treatment groups ( Results: The PROC group significantly improved growth performance compared to controls ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that combined probiotic and Chinese herbal medicine supplementation may serve as an effective feed strategy for promoting intestinal health and alleviating weaning stress, providing valuable insights for developing antibiotic alternatives in swine production.
