Weaning Stress Aggravates Defense Response and the Burden of Protein Metabolism in Low-Birth-Weight Piglets.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 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
The effect of low birth weight (LBW) on piglet development has been widely demonstrated. However, the reasons for the significant decline in the growth performance of LBW piglets after weaning remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon. At 21 days of age, 24 normal-birth-weight (NBW) piglets and 24 LBW piglets were selected and divided into four groups-NBW control, NBW weaning, LBW control, and LBW weaning-with 12 replicates per group (1 piglet per replicate). Control groups were euthanized on the same day, while weaning groups were weaned and sampled 3 days later. The results showed that the body weight of NBW piglets increased, whereas that of LBW piglets decreased, after 3 days of weaning. Compared with NBW piglets, LBW piglets exhibited higher serum cortisol concentrations and lower villus height (
