1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Against the backdrop of global warming, heat stress has become one of the greatest challenges facing the dairy industry. This review systematically summarizes the multi-dimensional impacts of heat stress on dairy cows and corresponding mitigation strategies under global warming. It covers the evaluation indicators (temperature-humidity index, physiological and behavioral indicators) and classification of heat stress. It analyzes the negative effects on dairy cows' reproductive performance (e.g., oocyte and sperm damage, hormonal disorders, impaired fetal development) and production performance (e.g., reduced milk yield, deteriorated milk composition). These effects are mediated by physiological mechanisms such as oxidative stress imbalance, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) activation, cellular structural damage, altered gene expression, and disrupted host-gut microbiota interactions. Additionally, the review integrates interdisciplinary mitigation strategies including environmental optimization, nutritional regulation, genetic breeding, and intelligent monitoring. It provides theoretical and practical references for constructing a sustainable heat stress prevention and control system.
