Fecal intestinal inflammatory biomarkers in piglets: analytical validation, homogeneity and stability studies.
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 1 paper.
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
Analytical validation of biomarker assays as indicators of intestinal inflammatory processes is essential for the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of intestinal health. In the context of porcine intestinal health, feces are a sample of choice for determining inflammatory molecules released into the intestinal contents in pathological conditions. The advantage of this method is that it is non-invasive and samples can be collected easily, quickly and without causing stress. In this study, we validated the analytical procedures for measuring lipocalin-2 (LCN-2), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in porcine fecal samples. Validation was carried out by studying precision (intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation), linearity under dilution, recovery, and the limits of detection and quantification. All three biomarkers fulfilled the required validation parameters. Furthermore, we analyzed the distribution of the three compounds and calprotectin (fCal) in the stools and found that all of them except LCN-2 were homogeneously distributed in the fecal sample. The stability of the compounds under different storage temperatures was assessed, and fCal was found to be the most stable parameter overall.
