Effect of arginine supplementation during lactation on piglet survivability.
Article in Translational 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
Two hundred and thirty-two PIC (PIC 1050, Genus, Hendersonville, TN) sows were used to investigate the effects of arginine supplementation on lactating sow performance and piglet mortality. Sows were allotted by randomized complete block design to one of two dietary treatments formulated to different standard ileal digestible (SID) arginine levels upon entering the farrowing. The control (CON) diet contained 0.95% SID arginine, while the experimental diet contained 1.12% SID arginine (ARG). Diets were formulated to meet or exceed all other NRC (2012) nutrient recommendations. Sow body weight (BW), backfat (BF), and body condition score (BCS) were recorded upon entering the farrowing room and upon weaning. Piglet litter weights were recorded after cross-fostering and at 20 days of age, to assess litter growth rate. Data were analyzed using generalized linear mixed models, with treatment as a fixed effect and group as a random effect. Post-foster litter size and litter weight were added as covariates. Models were fit using R (v4.4.1), and results were considered significant at
