Effect of post-rewarming fever after targeted temperature management in cardiac arrest patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in World journal of emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTargeted temperature management (TTM), as a therapeutic temperature control strategy for cardiac arrest (CA), is recommended by guidelines. However, the relationship between post-rewarming fever (PRF) and the prognosis of CA patients is unclear. Therefore, we aim to summarize the studies regarding the influence of PRF on patients with CA.
methodsEMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Central databases were searched from inception to March 13, 2022. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on PRF in CA patients were included. According to the heterogeneity, the meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model or fixed effects model to calculate the pooled odds ratios (
resultsThe meta-analysis included 11 observational studies involving 3,246 patients. The results of the meta-analysis show that PRF (body temperature >38.0 °C) has no effect on the neurological outcome of CA patients (
conclusionThis study suggests that PRF >38.0 °C may not affect the neurological outcome and have a lower mortality in CA patients who completed TTM. However, PRF >38.5 °C is a potential prognostic factor for worse outcomes in CA patients.
