Circulating-Water Mattress Enhances Thermal Comfort and Patient Satisfaction but Shows Non-Superiority in Temperature Maintenance in Ophthalmic Day-Case Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
Purpose: Perioperative hypothermia, a common complication of general anesthesia, is associated with adverse outcomes. While active warming methods are recommended, the effectiveness of circulating-water mattresses during ophthalmic surgeries remains understudied. This randomized controlled trial assessed whether a circulating-water mattress combined with a cotton quilt (Group W) was superior to a cotton quilt alone (Group C) in maintaining patient body temperature during ophthalmic day-case surgery. Patients and Methods: Group W patients (n=39) used a preheated circulating-water mattress (38°C) on the operating table and were covered with a cotton quilt (from their entry to the operating room until they returned to the ward). Group C patients (n=38) lay on an unheated table and were covered with a cotton quilt. The axillary temperature in the surgical waiting area served as the baseline. Axillary temperature, ambient temperature, heart rate, and mean arterial pressure were documented at anesthesia induction (T Results: At T Conclusion: During ophthalmic day-case surgeries, a circulating-water mattress plus a cotton quilt was not superior, regarding their warming effect, but they significantly enhanced patients' thermal comfort and satisfaction.
