Risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in non-cardiac surgery patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPostoperative hypothermia seems to be a common problem in surgical patients but is easily ignored. This study aimed to identify risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in non-cardiac surgery patients.
methodsWe searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, VIP, Wan Fang, CNKI, and CBM from inception to April 2025. The studies were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and independently evaluated the risk of bias. The quality of the study was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and a meta-analysis was carried out with Revman 5.4 software.
resultsA total of 17 studies were included. Age ≥ 60 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.80), BMI < 18.5 kg/m
conclusionThere are many risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The results of this research may improve clinician awareness, risk stratification, and prevention of postoperative hypothermia in non-cardiac surgery patients.
