Heat Stress Assessment Using Multiple Thermal-Comfort Indices and Its Impact on the Reproductive Performance of Sows and Their Offspring in a Temperate Climate.

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
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of HS on sow reproductive performance using 11 different thermal indices calculated from environmental data in a temperate climate. Reproductive records, including live-born piglets, stillbirths, and mummified fetuses per litter, were obtained using farm management software. The overall means for live-born piglets, stillbirths, and mummified fetuses per litter from January to December 2023 were 13.7, 1.06, and 0.45, respectively, whereas the temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity were 24.08 °C, 63.70%, and 3.2 m/s, respectively. Temperature-humidity index (THI): THI2 and THI6 were significantly associated with the number of live-born piglets (
