Evaluation of a Temperature/Humidity Data Logger for the Usage in Cattle Barns.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Climate change is a worldwide problem that is manifested in livestock farming with a decrease in animal health and welfare and economic losses due to heat stress. Therefore, a precise and continuous recording of the barn climate is essential to be able to implement actions at a certain threshold. The aim of this study was to evaluate a logger for temperature and humidity (Kestrel Drop D2) marketed for on-farm use in comparison to various other temperature/humidity data loggers under field conditions. Four different sensors were used and placed in different settings in cattle barns to correlate temperature and humidity measurements. Data were recorded for over a year in total. The data were very highly correlated. Furthermore, the area under the curve for the evaluated logger in comparison to the other ones was 0.99 to 1.0, using a temperature-humidity index cut-off of 72, often set to define heat stress. In conclusion, the evaluated logger performed equally well as the other used devices. For on-farm use, it is suitable.
