Comparison of tracheal versus esophageal temperatures during laparoscopic surgery.
Observational study in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeRecently, endotracheal tubes with an embedded temperature sensor in the inner surface of the tube cuff (temperature tracheal tubes) have been developed. We sought to assess whether temperature tracheal tubes show a good agreement with esophageal temperature probes during surgery.
methodsWe enrolled 40 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery in an observational study. The tracheas of all patients were intubated with a temperature tracheal tube, and an esophageal temperature probe was inserted into the esophagus. Tracheal and esophageal temperatures were recorded at 15-min intervals until the end of surgery. Temperatures from both devices were analyzed using Bland-Altman analysis, four-quadrant plots, and polar plots.
resultsWe analyzed 261 data points from 36 patients. Temperatures ranges were 34.2 °C to 36.6 °C for the tracheal temperature tube and 34.7 °C to 37.2 °C for the esophageal temperature probe. Bland-Altman analysis showed an acceptable agreement between the two devices, with an overall mean bias (95% limit of agreement) of -0.3 °C (-0.8 °C to 0.1 °C) and a percentage error of 3%; the trending ability (temperature changes over time) between the two devices showed a concordance rate of 94% in four-quadrant plot (cut-off ≥ 92%), but this was higher than the acceptable mean angular bias of 177° (cut-off < ± 5°) and radial limits of agreement of 52° (cut-off < ± 30°) in the polar plot. Bronchoscopy during extubation and patient interviews at six hours postoperatively revealed no serious injuries related to the use of the temperature tracheal tube.
conclusionThe temperature tracheal tube showed an acceptable overall mean bias of -0.3 °C and a percentage error of 3%, but incompatible trending ability with the esophageal temperature probe. STUDY REGISTRATION: cris.nih.go.kr (KCT0007265); 22 April 2022.
