Syndactyly in pigs.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Syndactyly, also known as mulefoot, is one of the most common physical extremity malformations. In pigs, syndactyly has been associated with genetic or environmental factors and occurs as an isolated defect or in association with other congenital anomalies.This case report aimed to describe a radiographically confirmed case of syndactyly in a piglet. Case Description: A 17-day-old 6.2 kg piglet showed syndactyly in all four limbs. Although this anomaly did not affect the patient's daily activities, it was a congenital malformation of clinical and zootechnical relevance. A complete blood count, morphometric measurements, and limb radiographs were performed. Radiographs revealed a fusion of phalangeal bones in the forelimbs and an accessory phalangeal element located axially between the principal digits in the hindlimbs. The complete blood count revealed mild leukocytosis. Conclusion: Syndactyly occurs during embryonic development when the phalanges do not separate. Its severity can vary from a simple skin union to complete bone fusion. Syndactyly etiology is multifactorial and involves genetic and environmental factors.
