Effects of artificial milk on growth performance and intestinal barrier function in suckling piglets: a review.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary 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
With the continuous improvement of genetic selection in modern swine production, litter size has steadily increased. However, due to the limited capacity of sows to enhance milk production, some piglets experience insufficient milk intake and restricted growth during the lactation period. As an important supplement to sow milk, artificial milk has been widely used in both production practice and scientific research. This review summarizes the effects of artificial milk on the growth performance and intestinal health of suckling piglets. It analyzes how insufficient milk yield and the nutritional composition of sow milk affect piglet growth, and then discusses the positive roles of artificial milk in alleviating the lactational burden on sows, mitigating environmental stress, and improving weaning weight and survival rate of piglets. Furthermore, the potential mechanisms by which artificial milk promotes intestinal development and enhances growth performance are examined from the perspectives of intestinal morphology, digestive function, and the mechanical, mucus, microbial, and immune barriers of the gut. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the management of piglets born to sows with extremely large litters.
