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

Warmed inspired air circuits have proved to be effective in semiclosed heating modalities in veterinary species such as dogs, cats, and nonhuman primates, and thus, there is a gap in species requiring a nonrebreathing circuit. This study evaluated the efficacy of using warmed inspired air in addition to conductive mattress warming in the prevention of hypothermia in anesthetized rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Rabbits were divided into 2 groups: conductive warming only (control) or conductive warming and warmed inspired air. Our results showed that the addition of a warmed air anesthesia circuit had a significant positive effect on perianesthetic body temperature, maintaining a higher rectal temperature starting 10 minutes after induction and a higher final rectal temperature after a 45-minute anesthetic procedure. At 20 minutes after induction, the body temperature of the warmed air group was not significantly different from baseline compared with a significant drop from baseline in the control group. Infrared pinnal temperatures did not show a pairwise significance in the effect of heating modality and time; however, a clinically significant difference of 2-3 °F between groups was seen. There were no statistically significant differences between groups for time to full recovery and time to extubation. For procedures using rabbits, the addition of warmed inspired air should be considered a significant refinement that promotes normothermia during anesthesia based on consistent and improved overall body temperatures.
