Associations of Management Factors and Environmental Conditions With the Number of Liveborn Piglets in a Commercial Pig Farm: A Retrospective Field Study.
Article in Reproduction in domestic animals = Zuchthygiene, 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
The achievement of reproductive goals depends, among others, on semen quality, adequate control of environmental factors (e.g., heat stress) and the practice of annual sow replacement. This retrospective study examined the association of semen type (produced on the farm or purchased from artificial insemination centres), previous oestrus return, parity and thermal environment with the number of liveborn piglets. Data from 522 sows (n = 1035) of an industrial Greek pig farm were analysed. Except for parity, no statistical differences were observed in the number of liveborn piglets across the various parameters examined. The number of liveborn piglets was higher for second- to fifth-parity sows compared to both younger and older ones. In conclusion, under the commercial conditions evaluated in the present study, the findings are consistent with previous reports and provide additional field-based evidence supporting current herd-management practices in commercial pig production.
