Infrared Thermography Imaging for Assessment of Peripheral Perfusion in Patients with Septic Shock.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Skin temperature changes can be used to assess peripheral perfusion in circulatory shock patients. However, research has been limited to point measurements from acral parts of the body. Infrared thermography allows non-invasive evaluation of temperature distribution over a larger surface. Our study aimed to map thermographic patterns in the knee and upper thigh of 81 septic shock patients within 24 h of admission and determine the relationship between skin temperature patterns, mottling, and 28-day mortality. We extracted skin temperature measurements from zones corresponding to mottling scores and used a linear mixed model to analyze the distribution of skin temperature in patients with different mottling scores. Our results showed that the distribution of skin temperature in the anterior thigh and knee is physiologically heterogeneous and has no significant association with mottling or survival at 28 days. However, overall skin temperature of the anterior thigh and knee is significantly lower in non-survivors when modified by mottling score. No differences were found in skin temperature between the survivor and non-survivor groups. Our study shows the potential usefulness of infrared thermography in evaluating skin temperature patterns in resuscitated septic shock patients. Overall skin temperature of the anterior thigh and knee may be an important indicator of survival status when modified by mottling score.
