The Influence of Total Fat Mass and Skeletal Muscle Mass Index on the Occurrence of Perioperative Hypothermia in Patients Undergoing Open Gastrectomy.

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: Perioperative hypothermia, a common occurrence in patients undergoing general anesthesia, is defined as a core body temperature below 36°C. The relationship between patient body composition and the incidence of hypothermia remains underreported. This study aims to elucidate the association between body composition and perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing open gastrectomy. Methods: Patients undergoing open gastrectomy were enrolled in the study. Patients whose bladder temperature was lower than 36°C were allocated to the hypothermia group, and the other patients were allocated to the control group. The patient's body composition was evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Results: A total of sixty-eight patients participated in this study. Among them, 34 experienced perioperative hypothermia (bladder temperature below 36°C) and were classified into the hypothermia group, while the remaining 34 were placed in the control group. The hypothermia group had a significantly higher body surface area per body weight. Additionally, the hypothermia group exhibited significantly lower total fat mass, skeletal muscle mass index, and basal metabolic rate ( Conclusions: Low total fat mass and a low skeletal muscle mass index are significant risk factors for perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing open gastrectomy. These risk factors could improve the accuracy of identifying high-risk patients for perioperative hypothermia.
