[Preoperative prewarming as a routine measure. First experiences].
Article in Der Anaesthesist, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundDespite the broad application of intraoperative warming new studies still show a high incidence of perioperative hypothermia. Therefore a prewarming program in the preoperative holding area was started.
methodsThe efficacy of the prewarming program was assessed with an accompanying quality assurance check sheet over a period of 3 months.
resultsDuring the 3 month test period 127 patients were included. The median length from arrival in the holding area to beginning prewarming was 6 min and the average duration of prewarming was 46±38 min. During prewarming the core temperature rose by 0.3±0.4°C to 37.1±0.5°C and decreased to 36.3±0.5°C after induction of anesthesia. At the end of the operation the core temperature was 36.4±0.5°C and 14% of the patients were hypothermic.
conclusionThese data allow 2 conclusions: 1. Prewarming in the holding area is possible with a sufficient duration. 2. Prewarming is highly efficient even when performed over a relatively short duration.
