1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Gastrointestinal parasitic infections remain an important concern in European pig production due to their potential impact on animal health, productivity, and, in the case of zoonotic species, public health. This systematic review investigated the occurrence of gastrointestinal helminths and enteric protists in domestic pigs across Europe and analysed the factors associated with their prevalence. Methods: A total of 28 studies published between 2010 and 2026 were included, identified through a structured search strategy conducted in three scientific databases. Results: The included studies reported a wide diversity of helminths and enteric protists in pigs raised under intensive, extensive, organic, and alternative production systems. Among helminths, Discussion: Overall, gastrointestinal parasites and enteric protists remain widely distributed in domestic pigs across Europe, with prevalence influenced by production system, management practices, host age, and diagnostic methodology. The identification of species with zoonotic potential also underlines the importance of continuous epidemiological surveillance within the One Health framework.
