Heat stress in poultry: the role of nutritional supplements in alleviating heat stress and enhancing gut health in poultry.
Review in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Globally, heat stress (HS) is a major concern in poultry farming, adversely impacting bird productivity, health, welfare, and economic returns. As climate change intensifies, the occurrence and severity of HS are anticipated to rise, posing greater risks to the poultry industry and the increasing demand for food. Birds respond to HS by exhibiting different mechanisms, including behavioral and physiological changes, to regulate their body temperature. In poultry, HS has been associated with reduced feed consumption, growth, feed efficiency, quantity and quality of eggs produced, meat quality, reproductive performance, impaired gut health, and increased mortality. Also, HS induces acid-base imbalance, causing both respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis. During HS, birds pant to cool down and exhale excessive carbon dioxide, leading to a decrease in blood pH. Nutritional interventions have emerged as a viable strategy to mitigate HS effects, with various dietary supplements demonstrating efficacy in improving poultry resilience. Vitamins (A, C, D, and E), minerals (selenium, zinc, chromium, sodium, potassium, and chloride), fat, amino acids, electrolytes, and
