Mitigating heat stress in commercial broilers through feeding management approaches: Insights into growth, serum biochemical indices, meat quality, and gut histomorphology.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Heat stress (HS) significantly affects tropical broiler farming by impairing growth, physiology, meat quality, survival, and profitability. Since feed constitutes a major production cost, adopting feeding management approaches may reduce costs while enhancing bird resilience under HS without compromising productivity. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different feeding management approaches on growth, rectal temperature, water intake, serum biochemistry, meat quality, gut histomorphology, and profitability in heat-stressed broilers. Methods: A total of 750 broiler day-old chicks were reared in an open-sided house for 6 weeks and allocated to five feeding approaches: T Results: The 8hFW group showed significantly ( Conclusion: Fixed-period feed withdrawal (8hFW) was the most effective approach in mitigating HS effects, improving growth performance, meat quality, gut morphology, and profitability. Therefore, this approach is a practical and cost-effective solution for broiler production under extreme HS.
