Strategies for mitigating heat stress and their effects on behavior, physiological indicators, and growth performance in communally managed feedlot cattle.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Heat stress poses a significant challenge in communal feedlot systems, affecting cattle welfare and productivity. This study evaluated the impact of shade and water-cooling interventions on thermophysiological stress reduction and growth performance in 60 cattle from communal feedlots. Physiological indicators (rectal temperature, skin temperature, respiration rate) along growth metrics (feed intake, average daily gain [ADG]) were analyzed using regression and principal component analysis (PCA) to identify key drivers of performance. The results showed a significant reduction (
