Moderate Scale of Pig Farming: Implications for Herd Management and Disease Control-Evidence from Heilongjiang Province, China.
Article in Veterinary sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Moderate-scale farming is an important pathway for promoting the high-quality development of China's pig industry. Based on survey data from 809 pig farms in Heilongjiang Province in 2024, this study assesses the moderate operating scale of pig farming within the framework of herd management and disease control, focusing on production efficiency, disease prevention and control, and environmental management. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to measure production efficiency, and baseline regression models with operating-scale group dummy variables are constructed to compare operational performance across annual slaughter-volume groups. Compared with the other operating-scale groups, relatively better production efficiency was observed in the 5000-10,000 head group. The 3000-4999 head group shows relatively better disease prevention and control performance, with lower pig mortality, and a greater advantage in controlling manure treatment costs. Overall, the relatively better-performing scale range differs across evaluation dimensions. However, the 3000-4999 head group shows relatively stronger coordination among production organization, disease prevention and control, and environmental management, and may therefore represent a relatively suitable operating-scale range for supporting herd management and disease control in pig farming.
