Accuracy of non-invasive core temperature monitoring in infant and toddler patients: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in Journal of anesthesia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07507396 (Non-invasive Temperature Monitoring in Pediatric Intensive Care Patients Requiring Targeted Temperature Management), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeCareful perioperative temperature management is important because it influences clinical outcomes. In pediatric patients, the esophageal temperature is the most accurate indicator of core temperature. However, it requires probe insertion into the body cavity, which is mildly invasive. Therefore, a non-invasive easily and continuously temperature monitor system is ideal. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of Temple Touch Pro™ (TTP), a non-invasive temperature monitoring using the heat flux technique, compared with esophageal (Tesoph) and rectal (Trect) temperature measurements in pediatric patients, especially in infants and toddlers.
methodsThis single-center prospective observational study included 40 pediatric patients (< 3 years old) who underwent elective non-cardiac surgery. The accuracy of TTP was analyzed using Bland-Altman analysis and compared with Tesoph or Trect temperature measurements. The error was within ± 0.5 °C and was considered clinically acceptable.
resultsThe bias ± precision between TTP and Tesoph was 0.09 ± 0.28 °C, and 95% limits of agreement were - 0.48 to 0.65 °C (error within ± 0.5 °C: 94.0%). The bias ± precision between TTP and Trect was 0.41 ± 0.38 °C and 95% limits of agreement were - 0.35 to 1.17 °C (error within ± 0.5 °C: 68.5%). In infants, bias ± precision with 95% limits of agreement were 0.10 ± 0.30 °C with - 0.50 to 0.69 °C (TTP vs. Tesoph) and 0.35 ± 0.29 °C with - 0.23 to 0.92 °C (TTP vs. Trect).
conclusionCore temperature measurements using TTP in infants and toddlers were more accurate with Tesoph than with Trect. In the future, non-invasive TTP temperature monitoring will help perioperative temperature management in pediatric patients.
