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
In November 2025, African swine fever (ASF) was detected in wild boar in the Catalonia region of Spain. The primary objective of this cross-sectional survey study was to descriptively explore the mental health impacts of the emergence of ASF in Spain on Spanish practicing veterinarians working with swine and to provide a baseline for future comparison if conditions of the ASF epidemic in Spain significantly change. A questionnaire with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and Insomnia Severity Index was distributed via convenience sampling to Spanish pig veterinarians from April to May 2026. Working in an ASF control zone, and working in Catalonia, were primary exposures of interest for anxiety and insomnia score. Data were analyzed using univariate analyses. Fifty-three veterinarians responded to the survey. Median anxiety score was 6.00 (interquartile range [IQR]: 2.00-10.0) and median insomnia score was 8.00 (IQR: 4.00-13.0). Some veterinarians reported new feelings of uneasiness or sadness (54.7%), extreme changes in their feelings of happiness and sadness (41.5%), and less confidence in their abilities or their value (41.5%) since the ASF outbreak. Working in an ASF control zone or working in Catalonia were not significantly associated with insomnia or anxiety score (
