Magnitude and associated factors of intra-operative hypothermia among pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery: A multi-center cross-sectional study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. 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
backgroundHypothermia is a core body temperature of less than 36 c
methodInstitutional based cross-sectional study was conducted on 339 pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery in referral hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statics were expressed in percentage and presented with tables. Both Bivariable and multivariable logistic analysis was done to identify factors associated with intra-operative hypothermia among pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery. P < 0.05 with 95% CI was set as statistical significance.
resultThe magnitude of intra-operative hypothermia in this study was 39.8 [95% CI= (34.5-45.1)]. Multivariable logistic analyses showed that ambient temperature less than 26c
conclusionThe magnitude of intra-operative hypothermia in this study was high. So, adherence must be done in the prevention of intraoperative hypothermia by health professionals such as increasing operation room temperature, warming administered fluid, optimal fluid administration, and reduction of the duration of surgery and anesthesia.
