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

Measuring rectal temperature is a common method for assessing the body temperature in animals in response to changes in physiology, health, and emotions. However, non-invasive infrared thermography is a more advanced technique that reduces the stress associated with restraining animals and minimises risks related to cross-contamination and disease transmission. The present study investigated the association between rectal temperature (RT) and infrared temperature (IRT) of the goat's external body surfaces. A total of one hundred thirteen (113) goats were considered for this study, and those that showed signs of health deviations were excluded from the evaluation. Thus eighty-four (84) goats were used for the study. We recorded the RT of each goat, as well as the maximum (M) and average (A) IRT of the forehead, right and left ears, right and left eyes, right and left coronary bands of the forelimbs, right and left shoulders, and the mucous membrane of the mouth, simultaneously. The descriptive statistics revealed that the maximum IRT values were higher than RT, except for the right coronary band, left coronary band, right shoulder, and left shoulder. Pearson correlation showed RT has a positive association with all IRT measures, including maximum and average values. The highest association was observed between RT and right eye maximum IRT (REM) (r = 0.63). In addition, the regression analysis showed RT and REM have a moderate correlation (S = 0.36 and R
