1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

purposeMassively bleeding trauma patients often arrive to intensive care units hypothermic. Active warming blankets have shown promise in reducing hypothermia in the pre-hospital setting, but less is known about their in-hospital use. The aim of this pilot evaluation was to understand the feasibility of the Ready-Heat

methodsThis was a prospective, observational, feasibility study of 15 patients performed at a single level 1 trauma centre. Patients were eligible for enrollment if they presented to the trauma bay and a massive hemorrhage protocol was activated. Primary outcome measures (feasibility) included: blanket applied to the patient; temperature recording in the trauma bay, and next phase or final phase of care; and blanket remaining on patient upon arrival to the subsequent phase of care.Secondary outcome measures (safety) included skin irritation and cold discomfort. Use of the Ready-Heat
