The Impact of Intraoperative Hypothermia on Blood Loss and Allogenic Blood Transfusion in Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Study.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTotal joint arthroplasty (TJA) usually leads to substantial blood loss, which may cause allogenic blood transfusion. Hypothermia occurring during operation has been reported to increase blood loss and transfusion rates in nonorthopedic cohorts. However, the relationship between intraoperative hypothermia and blood loss remains controversial in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries. The aims of this study were to investigate the incidence of hypothermia and identify the impact of intraoperative body temperature and hypothermia on blood loss and transfusion rates in total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA and THA, respectively).
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 616 consecutive patients, who underwent primary unilateral TKA or THA at our institution during the period from April 2012 to July 2014. The occurrence of a temperature below 36°C during the operation was documented to identify the incidence of hypothermia. Univariate analysis was performed to find the risk factors for hypothermia. Multiple regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were employed to explore the association of intraoperative temperature and hypothermia with intraoperative blood loss and perioperative blood transfusion.
resultsThe incidence of intraoperative hypothermia was 13.5%, 14.0%, and 13.1% in TJA, TKA, and THA, respectively. Intraoperative temperature (
conclusionIntraoperative hypothermia is associated with increased blood loss and transfusion rates in TJA. Efforts should be made to maintain normothermia during operation in these patients.
