Improving heat resilience in fattening rabbits: nutritional strategies for mitigation via regulating blood physiology, inflammation and antioxidant pathways.
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 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
Introduction: Global heat waves increasingly threaten food security, by reducing food supplies and negatively impacting livestock health. This research investigates nutritional interventions aimed at improving rabbit productivity and health, with a particular focus on mitigating the effects of heat stress (HS) conditions. Hence, this research investigates the potential of various feed additives to enhance growth, immunity, and overall health in environmentally stressed growing rabbits by reducing inflammatory and apoptotic signaling. Materials and method: To investigate the effects of various supplements on rabbits under natural heat stress, 150 rabbits were divided into five groups with 30 rabbits each. The groups were given a control diet or supplemented with 1 ml of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), 0.2 g of chitosan, 100 mg of silymarin, or a combination of all three for 8 weeks. The Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) was calculated to be 30.04, indicating severe heat stress. Results: Results indicated that all feed supplements significantly improved live body weight and average daily gain ( Conclusion: Therefore, incorporating mixture of natural molecules (1 ml AgNPs, 0.2 chitosan, and 100 mg silymarin) into the diet provides a sustainable and promising solution for rabbit production to combat heat stress associated with global climate change.
