Infrared thermography in clinical practice: a literature review.
Review in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundInfrared thermography technology is a diagnostic imaging modality that converts temperature information on the surface of the human body into visualised thermograms. This technology has the capacity to intuitively detect the presence of certain abnormal conditions or foci in the human body. In recent years, the application of this technology in medicine has become increasingly extensive, especially in the areas of auxiliary diagnosis and early screening of diseases.
objectivesThe aim of this review is to analyse and summarise the application of infrared thermography in clinical practice.
methodsA comprehensive search of the research literature pertaining to the clinical application of medical infrared thermography was conducted, encompassing publications by both domestic and foreign researchers and scholars, in prominent databases including PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and CNKI since the inception of these databases.
resultsA total of 51 articles were ultimately included in the study. The application of infrared thermography has been demonstrated in oncology, painful diseases, inflammation, rheumatism, and vascular-related diseases.
conclusionsThe extensive utilisation of infrared thermography in clinical settings signifies the technology's considerable potential. Addressing its current limitations can optimise its benefits.
