Long-term repeatability and predictability of body temperature in dairy calves explored using reticulorumen temperature boluses.

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
Research on the repeatability, plasticity and predictability of the body temperature of endotherms is limited. Following developments in precision livestock farming, dairy calves have emerged as a model organism to explore these questions in a large endotherm. This study aimed to harness long-term, high-frequency recordings from reticulorumen temperature boluses recordings to investigate the repeatability, plasticity and predictability of reticulorumen temperature before, during and after weaning in 98 dairy calves. Using both frequentist and Bayesian mixed modelling, we found that reticulorumen temperature was moderately repeatable (R = 0.258), that reticulorumen temperature was plastic over the three weaning stages but that plasticity varied on an individual level, and that individual calves differed in the predictability of their reticulorumen temperature (CV
