Prediction models, assessment methodologies and biotechnological tools to quantify heat stress response in ruminant livestock.
Review in International journal of biometeorology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Livestock industries have an important role in ensuring global food security. This review discusses the importance of quantifying the heat stress response of ruminants, with an emphasis on identifying thermo-tolerant breeds. There are numerous heat stress prediction models that have attempted to quantify the response of ruminant livestock to hot climatic conditions. This review highlights the importance of investigating prediction models beyond the temperature-humidity index (THI). Furthermore, this review highlights the importance of incorporating other climatic variables when developing prediction indices to ensure the accurate prediction of heat stress in ruminants. Prediction models, particularly the heat load index (HLI) were developed to overcome the limitations of the THI by incorporating ambient temperature (AT), relative humidity (RH), solar radiation (SR) and wind speed (WS). Furthermore refinements to existing prediction models have been undertaken to account for the interactions between climatic variables and physiological traits of livestock. Specifically, studies have investigated the relationships between coat characteristics, respiration rate (RR), body temperature (BT), sweating rate, vasodilation, body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), fatness and feed intake with climatic conditions. While advancements in prediction models have been occurring, there has also been substantial advancement in the methodologies used to quantify animal responses to heat stress. The most recent development in this field is the application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to record animal behaviour and various physiological responses. Rumen temperature measurements using rumen boluses and skin temperature recording using infrared thermography (IRT) are making inroads to redefine the quantification of the heat stress response of ruminants. Further, this review describes several advanced biotechnological tools that can be used to identify climate resilient breeds of ruminant livestock.
