Elevated levels of C-reactive protein and pig major acute phase protein in lame gestating sows.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Lameness is a common clinical issue in gestating sows and a leading cause for early culling and antibiotic treatment. Diagnostic tools are limited, but acute acute phase proteins (APPs) could offer a fast and minimally invasive method for optimizing treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate whether APP level measurements can be used as a diagnostic tool, and to identify which major acute phase proteins are elevated in lame gestating sows. Methods: To determine this, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 50 lame and 50 clinically healthy gestating sows from 12 conventional herds. The samples were analyzed for C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin, serum amyloid A, and pig major acute phase protein (Pig-MAP) levels using sandwich ELISA. Results: C-reactive protein and Pig-MAP were found to be significantly elevated in lame sows compared to clinically healthy sows ( Conclusion: In this study, lameness was associated with an elevation in C-reactive protein and pig major acute phase protein.
