Assessing the Influence of Intraoperative Core Body Temperature on Postoperative Venous Thromboembolism after Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.

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
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a dangerous postoperative complication after abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). Intraoperative core body temperature has been associated with thrombotic events in other surgical contexts. This study examines the effects of intraoperative temperature on VTE rate after AWR. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on AWR patients. Cohorts were defined by postoperative 30-day VTE. Intraoperative core body temperature was recorded as the minimum, maximum, and mean intraoperative temperatures. Study variables were analyzed with logistic regression and cutoff analysis to assess for association with VTE. Results: In total, 344 patients met inclusion criteria. Fourteen patients were diagnosed with 30-day VTE for an incidence of 4.1%. The VTE cohort had a longer median inpatient stay (8 days versus 5 days, Conclusions: Intraoperative core body temperature did not associate with 30-day VTE after AWR, though operative duration, length of stay, immunocompromised status, and intraoperative PIP difference did. Surgeons should remain mindful of VTE risk after AWR, and future research is warranted to elucidate all contributing factors.
