Cool and safe walks: heat stress threshold for domestic dogs living in hot and sunny regions.

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 proposes heat stress thresholds for dogs during outdoor walks in a hot and sunny tropical region. A total of five mixed-breed dogs had their body temperatures (from their coat, skin, paw pad and rectum) and respiratory rate measured at rest, during 12 min of walking, and during 20 min of recuperation, when water intake was recorded. A total of 135 walks were undertaken throughout the night and daytime phases, thereby exposing dogs to levels of black-globe temperature (BGT) ranging between 19 and 50 °C. Dogs kept their rectal temperature within a narrow range (38-39 °C), without signs of hyperthermia. However, walking with the dogs when the BGT was above 35 ºC resulted in substantial increments in hair-coat temperature (+ 20.5 ºC), skin temperature (+ 7.2 ºC), respiratory rate (increasing markedly, from approximately 47 to 374 breaths min⁻
