Environmentally sustainable management practices support veterinary staff wellbeing.
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 4 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
Veterinary technicians and assistants are integral to the daily operations of veterinary practices and have the potential to serve as key advocates for sustainability within the profession. This study aimed to assess veterinary support staff perspectives on the health impacts of climate change on companion animals, their perceived professional responsibilities in addressing climate-related health issues, and the availability of relevant educational resources. An electronic survey was distributed to veterinary staff across the United States through veterinary practices, AVMA-accredited technician programs, and technician-focused social media platforms. Findings indicate that technicians, technician students, and assistants overwhelmingly acknowledge the occurrence of climate change and its relevance to animal health. Respondents expressed a strong belief that veterinary staff should be informed about the health implications of climate change, identified a substantial gap in education on this topic, and demonstrated support for implementing sustainable practices within clinical settings. These results underscore the urgent need to integrate climate-related health education into veterinary support staff curricula and highlight the potential for sustainable initiatives to contribute to improved staff engagement and retention.
