Analysis of the main causes of chicken carcass condemnation in slaughterhouses in Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Article in Brazilian journal of veterinary medicine, 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
Pre-slaughter inspection activities encompass clinical, documentary, and sanitary checks; post-mortem inspection identifies abnormalities in chicken carcasses, such as lesions caused by disease or inadequate handling and processing, leading to partial or total condemnation. The objectives were to determine the causes of condemnation for poultry carcasses slaughtered in Mato Grosso, identify the triggering factors, and evaluate the economic impact on the chicken production chain between January 2017 and December 2024. This was a retrospective, exploratory study using data from the Federal Inspection Service's Management Information System (SIGSIF) and reports from inspected establishments. Of the 1,251,623,202 chickens slaughtered, 9.5% (118,990,903) of the carcasses were condemned: 2.69% (33,759,843) totally and 6.8% (85,231,060) partially. Gastrointestinal contamination showed the highest percentages for both totally and partially condemned carcasses (57.16% and 37.55%, respectively), followed by cellulitis, accounting for 18% of both types of condemnation. Repugnant appearance (7.94%) and bruising/fractures (11.29%) ranked third among total and partial condemnations. Factors influencing condemnations included environmental conditions (temperature and relative humidity) as well as handling practices during rearing, transport, and processing. Economic losses associated with the 118,990,903 condemned birds during this period totaled R$ 1,365,420,611.93. We concluded that the partial and total condemnation of poultry involves a complex set of factors, ranging from on-farm management to processing. Understanding the situation in the state enables the formulation of measures to prevent and mitigate condemnations and the resulting economic losses associated with the disposal of these birds.
