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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo explore the management effect of a chain temperature management checklist in preventing hypothermia in patients undergoing urological robotic surgery during the perioperative period.

methodsA total of 152 patients undergoing urological robotic surgery were enrolled in this study between March and September 2021 and again between March and September 2022. All patients were randomly divided into the control group (n = 76) and the intervention group (n = 76). The incidence of hypothermia and chills were compared between the two groups of patients, as well as implementation omission rates, thermal comfort scores and nurse satisfaction scores, following the construction and implementation of a chain temperature management checklist.

resultsThe incidence of hypothermia and chills in the intervention group (10.5% and 13.2%, respectively) was lower than that in the control group (38.2% and 40.8%, respectively). The implementation omission rate in the intervention group (1.3%) was also lower than that in the control group (30.3%). The thermal comfort score in the intervention group (8.76 ± 1.31) was higher than that in the control group (5.78 ± 1.43). Additionally, the nurse satisfaction score was higher in the intervention group (98.89 ± 2.43) than in the control group (89.57 ± 3.75). The differences were all statistically significant (p < 0.05).

conclusionUsing a chain temperature management checklist in the temperature management of patients undergoing urological robotic surgery can reduce the incidence of low body temperature and shivering, decrease the rate of implementation omissions and improve patient thermal comfort and nurse satisfaction.
