Evaluation of the Best Region for Measuring Eye Temperature in Dairy Cows Exposed to Heat Stress.

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
Eye temperature (ET) has long been used for predicting or indicating heat stress in dairy cows. However, the region of interest (ROI) and temperature parameter of the eye have not been standardized and various options were adopted by previous studies. The aim of this study was to determine the best ROI for measuring ET as the predictor of heat stress in dairy cows in consideration of repeatability and validity. The ET of 40 lactating Holstein dairy cows was measured using infrared thermography. The mean and maximum temperature of five ROIs-medial canthus (MC), lateral canthus, eyeball, whole eye (WE), and lacrimal sac (LS)-were manually captured. The results show that the ET of left eyes was slightly higher than that of right eyes. The ET taken in MC, WE, and LS within 2 min had a moderate to substantial repeatability. The maximum temperature obtained at the LS had the highest correlation coefficients with respiration rate and core body temperature (all
