Hypothermic in the Heat: A Case of Hypothermia in a Vulnerable Older Adult in South Florida.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature of less than 35°C. This report centers on the case of an older adult who presented to the emergency department (ED) with mild hypothermia, bradycardia, and electrolyte abnormalities during the summer in a warm climate. The patient was an 82-year-old man who was found to be hypothermic (33.6°C rectally), hypotensive, and bradycardic. He was treated with intravenous (IV) fluid resuscitation, active external rewarming (AER), and empiric antibiotics for his left lower lobe pneumonia. He was admitted to the intensive care unit and ultimately discharged home with physical therapy. Older adults are at an increased risk for hypothermia, even in a tropical climate. Early recognition of hypothermia is essential to achieve good outcomes.
