Material consequences: an initial assessment of the influence of flooring type on lactating sow thermoregulation in summer heat.
Article in Translational animal science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Heat stress (HS) impairs lactating sows' ability to provide adequate nutrition for their litters, prompting the development of management practices and new housing systems to alleviate its effects. However, few have investigated materials used in farrowing crate construction and their influence on sows' ability to remain euthermic. Therefore, the study objective was to assess the association of metal (MTL) versus plastic (PLS) crate flooring with sow euthermia and litter performance under natural summer HS conditions. Landrace x Large White lactating sows and their litters (
