Predicted PK/PD inadequacy of amoxicillin delivered in drinking water against respiratory pathogens in post-weaning piglets: can time-restricted dosing improve animals' exposure and potential treatment efficacy?
Article in Veterinary and animal science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Collective treatments via drinking water allow rapid and targeted treatment of many animals as soon as disease is detected, but inter-animal variability in drinking behaviour can lead to over- or under-exposure. We therefore developed a pharmaco-statistical model integrating real-time individual water consumption to simulate amoxicillin plasma concentrations and assess actual treatment efficacy. One hundred fifty piglets received amoxicillin (10 mg/kg/day, 2.5-3 days) via drinking water under continuous, daytime, or night-time treatment, and water and blood samples were collected. Using individual drinking profiles and pharmacokinetic parameters, we simulated plasma concentrations in a virtual population of 5000 piglets per modality to compared with the obtained actual plasma concentrations. We then estimated the proportion of adequately treated animals by comparing modelled plasma concentrations with MICs for five major respiratory pathogens. Amoxicillin treatment was effective in at least 80% of piglets only for one of the five targeted pathogens,
