The Clinical Impact of Ambient Operating Room Temperature and Other Perioperative Factors on Patient Comfort during Wide-awake Hand Surgery Using Local Anesthesia.

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
backgroundThe prevalence of wide-awake hand surgery using local anesthesia has increased substantially. The full influence of perioperative factors, namely operating room temperature, on patient comfort during these procedures is presently underreported.
methodsOne hundred and fifty-eight patients undergoing wide-awake hand surgery using local anesthesia were prospectively enrolled. Surveys with visual analog scale (VAS) were administered after surgery to assess overall patient comfort (OPC) and patient comfort with temperature (TPC). Operating room temperature at the initiation of the procedure, surgery type, duration of surgery, tourniquet use and local anesthetic use were all recorded and their impact on patient comfort analyzed. The VAS used ranged from 1 (least comfortable) to 5 (most comfortable).
resultsAcross all patients, the mean OPC was 4.7 (Range: 2 - 5, SD=0.6) and the mean TPC score was 4.7 (Range 2 - 5, SD=0.6). There were weakly negative correlations between room temperature and VAS score for OPC (r
conclusionPatient comfort during surgery using local anesthesia is not substantially affected by operating room temperature. Tourniquet use negatively impacts patient-reported comfort. Continued studies into the optimization of patient comfort during wide-awake hand surgery are warranted.
