Swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome outbreak in Brazil: a case report.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 2026. 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
The outbreak occurred in three farrowing rooms from a commercial farrow-to-wean farm with 4,600 sows located in southern Brazil. During the first week of outbreak, diarrhea and vomiting were recorded in sows, and inflammatory lesions were reported in neonatal piglets. Lesions were located on the tail, hock, perineal area, teats, vulva, male genital organs, sole, coronary band, ear, and jaw, which progressed to necrosis within few days. A total of 562 sows were evaluated for the presence of diarrhea and vomiting. Their litters, comprising 8,344 suckling piglets, were individually assessed for the presence, location and type of lesions. Laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of ergosterol in feed, which indicates a poor microbiological stability and fungal yeast invasion of the feed. Diarrhea was observed in 2.3% of sows. Overall, 38.2% (n = 3,190) of piglets presented lesions. In farrowing unit A, the tail and claw were the most frequently affected areas, whereas sole lesions predominated in room B and teat lesions in room C. Additionally, 12.0% of piglets born from sows with high genetic potential were not selected for replacement due to teats necrosis. This is the first case report of Swine Inflammation and Necrosis Syndrome (SINS) described outside Europe. Moreover, it highlights the importance of early diagnosis and feed monitoring for the prevention of mycotoxicosis in swine, to reduce their impacts on animal welfare, gilt selection for replacement, and removal of contaminated feed from the farm.
