Effects of air-heated blankets on hypothermia and quality of recovery in patients undergoing radical resection for endometrial cancer: A randomized trial.
Trial report in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPerioperative hypothermia is a common complication in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of air-heated blankets on perioperative hypothermia and quality of recovery in patients undergoing radical resection for endometrial cancer.
methodsA total of 80 patients who underwent radical resection for endometrial cancer were enrolled and randomly divided into the control group (Group C) and experimental group (Group A) (n = 40). Routine nursing measures were used in Group C. Patients in Group A were continuously kept warm with an air-heated blanket (38°C) from the induction of anesthesia until the end of surgery. The core body temperature, intraoperative blood loss, extubation time, eye-opening time and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay were recorded. The incidence of hypothermia, postoperative agitation, shivering, postoperative nausea and vomiting and delayed awakening was observed.
resultsThe incidence of hypothermia was significantly lower in group A (2.5% vs 45%, P = .001), and the body temperature 30 minutes after the induction of anesthesia and 1 hour after the beginning of the operation were significantly higher than that in the group C (P < .05). Intraoperative blood loss was reduced in group A that in the group C (135.8 ± 38.8 vs 155.8 ± 48.7 mL, P < .046). The extubation time, eye-opening time, and PACU stay were shorter in group A that in the group C (all P < .05). The incidence of postoperative shivering was lower than that in Group C (2.5% vs 20%, P < .024).
conclusionThe use of air-heating blanket could reduce the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia and postoperative shivering, shorten the extubation time and eye-opening time, and reduce intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing radical resection for endometrial cancer.
