Effect of shade and limit feeding in growing beef heifers during periods of 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
Experiments were conducted during the summers of 2021 and 2022 to evaluate the effects of feeding strategy and shade on growth performance, animal comfort, water usage, apparent diet digestibility, and ruminal fermentation characteristics of growing heifers during periods of heat stress. In Exp. 1, 852 heifers (initial body weight [BW] = 251 ± 13 kg) were assigned to one of 4 treatments: high-energy diet limit-fed at 2.2% of BW (dry matter [DM] basis; LIM) or high-roughage diet fed for ad libitum intake (ADLIB) with shade (SH) or without shade (NSH). Pen BWs were measured on day 0, weekly from days 14 to 84, day 90, and day 97. Pen weights were used to adjust weekly intakes of LIM. Refusals for ADLIB were targeted at 5% of feed consumed the previous day. Following the 90-d feeding period, a gut-fill equilibration diet was fed to all cattle at 2.5% of BW (DM basis) for 7 d to balance differences in gut-fill between dietary treatments. Dry matter intake was lesser (
