1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 review synthesizes current knowledge on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of swine production systems, emphasizing nutrient management, nitrous oxide (N₂O) mitigation, and manure treatment strategies that enhance sustainability. Although swine are not the largest contributors to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, their environmental footprint remains substantial due to feed production and manure management. Integrated nutrient management-through precision nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) application-combined with manure reuse, can significantly reduce N losses, improve soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, and mitigate N₂O emissions. Emerging manure treatment technologies such as composting, anaerobic digestion (AD), and biochar production also offer co-benefits of nutrient recovery and energy generation. The review highlights that integrating these strategies within regenerative agricultural systems-using practices like reduced tillage, cover cropping, and circular bioeconomy approaches-improves soil health, minimizes GHG emissions, and promotes resilient crop-livestock systems. Overall, this synthesis underscores that coupling nutrient management with innovative manure treatment and emission-mitigation technologies is essential for advancing the sustainability of swine production and reducing its environmental impact.
