The effects of simulated transportation conditions on the core body and extremity temperature, blood physiology, and behavior of white-strain layer pullets.
Article in Poultry science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Transportation of poultry is stressful. The transportation of broilers has been well studied, while the transportation of layer pullets from rearing to laying facilities has not been thoroughly evaluated. This experiment aimed to establish the effects of temperature (T)/RH combinations and duration (D) of transport, via a 5 × 2 factorial arrangement of simulated transport conditions using 5 T/RH combinations (21°C with 30% RH [21/30], 21°C with 80% RH [21/80], 30°C with 30% RH [30/30], 30°C with 80% RH [30/80], and -15°C with uncontrolled RH [-15]), and 2 exposure D (4 or 8 h). Pullets (18-19 wk; n = 240) were obtained from 3 commercial farms (N = 3 farms). Pretreatment, birds were orally administered a miniature data logger to record core body temperature (CBT), an initial blood sample was taken (5 birds/replicate), and initial foot T was recorded. Behavior during exposure was video recorded. Following exposure, a final blood sample was taken (analyzed for heterophil to lymphocyte ratio, partial pressure of CO
