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

Background: Traditional pig breeds experience a renaissance in public perception to favor biodiversity and resilience to diseases. Moreover, the routine use of parturition induction with exogenous hormones is questioned, as it may compromise the welfare of both dams and piglets. Aims and Objectives: In this study, neonatal complete blood counts were analysed regarding the effects of genotype, i.e., traditional German Saddleback versus modern German Landrace, and the implementation or omission of parturition induction by hormonal intervention. Materials and Methods: Blood samples of Results: The population showed 22% of neonates being anaemic with hemoglobin <11.0 g/dl ( Conclusion: The pronounced differences between Saddleback and Landrace neonates suggest a breed-specific setting of the hematological activity at birth, which might be partially modulated by hormone application due to labor induction in pigs.
