Intraoperative thermal insulation in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a prospective, double blind, randomized controlled, single-center study.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAbout 50% patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) experienced perioperative hypothermia. Pre-warming and intraoperative infusion of amino acid injection are the most popular perioperative insulation measures in recent years, but neither of them can completely prevent intraoperative hypothermia. The objective is to investigate the effect of preoperative warming and/or intraoperative infusion of amino acid injection on body temperature in patients undergoing OPCAB.
methodsA prospective, double blind, randomized controlled, single-center study. Seventy-two patients were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, pre-warming group, amino-acid group and multi-mode group. Pre-warming and multi-mode group were pre-heated with warming blankets and forced-air warming system before induction. After that, amino-acid and multi-mode group were infused with 18-amino acid solution. The perioperative temperature and complications were monitored.
resultsThe temperature of control and amino-acid group decreased significantly, but amino-acid group recovered to preoperative level faster. The temperature of pre-warming group was stable, and that in multi-mode group increased at 60 min after the start of surgery. There was a significant difference in temperature at each time, and no difference in the incidence of complications between the groups.
conclusionsPreoperative warming and/or intraoperative infusion of amino acid injection can effectively reduce hypothermia in OPCAB surgery. Pre-warming before anesthesia is more effective, and the combination of the two methods has the best effect.
