1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We examined the feasibility of a thermal imager smart phone attachment as a potential proxy of skin perfusion by assessing shifts in skin temperature following administration of the vasodilatory anesthetic propofol. Four limb distal extremity thermal images were taken before propofol administration and at 5-min intervals thereafter during monitored anesthesia. The study enrolled 60 patients with ages ranging from 1.3 to 18 years (mean 10.7 years old) from April 2016 to January 2017. Five minutes following propofol administration, the median temperature differential (delta temperature) between the core and extremity skin significantly decreased in both upper and lower extremities, 7.9 to 3.6 °C (
