The prevalence and risk factors of intraoperative hypothermia in patients with hip/knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundIntraoperative hypothermia (IOH) is common among patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of the lower extremities. Evaluating the risk factors for IOH is critical for the success of preventive interventions. This study aims to systematically assess the prevalence and risk factors of IOH in TJA patients.
designSystematic review and meta-analysis.
methodsTwo independent researchers conducted a literature search across eight databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, WANFANG Data, and CBM. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A random-effects model was employed to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of IOH. All analyses were performed using Stata 12.0 software.
resultsAcross 21 cohort studies on TJA patients, the pooled prevalence of IOH was 35.28% (95% CI: 27.50%-43.48%). Subgroup analysis revealed an IOH prevalence of 38.66% (95% CI: 28.67%-49.16%) in THA patients and 27.23% (95% CI: 18.37%- 37.11%) in TKA patients. Significant risk factors for IOH included intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative infusion volume, operating room temperature, and surgical time. Current evidence does not support a clear association between patient age, anesthesia time, and IOH.
conclusionOur Meta-analysis indicates that the prevalence of IOH is high among TJA patients, despite significant heterogeneity (I² =98.7%, τ²= 0.15), the pooled analysis suggested the prevalence of IOH in TJA patients was 35.28% (95% CI: 27.50%-43.48%). However, the interpretation of these findings should be cautious due to substantial variability across studies. Additionally, assessment of intraoperative blood loss, infusion volume, operating room temperature, and surgical time should be integral to IOH risk evaluation in TJA patients. Future studies are needed to further explore the roles of age and anesthesia time as potential risk factors. Tailored IOH prevention strategies should be developed by addressing modifiable risk factors.
