Closed-loop temperature management with internet of things technology support in elderly laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery: A randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study investigates the effectiveness of closed-loop temperature management supported by Internet of Things technology in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery.
methodsEighty-nine patients were randomly assigned to three Groups. The Enhanced with Warming Blanket Group utilized inflatable warming blankets for insulation. The Closed-Loop Thermoregulation Group employed real-time core temperature monitoring and temperature regulation supported by IoT technology. Core temperatures were continuously monitored from entering the operating room to departure from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. Postoperative outcomes including time to tracheal extubation, length of stay in the PACU, incidence of postoperative shivering, time to first flatus, time to first oral feeding, and postoperative length of hospital stay were recorded and compared.
resultsFrom 30 minutes after anesthesia induction to departure from the PACU, the Closed-Loop Thermoregulation Group exhibited significantly higher core body temperature than the Routine Group (All P < 0.05). The incidence of hypothermia upon entering and departure from the PACU was significantly lower in the Closed-Loop Thermoregulation Group compared to the Routine Group (P = 0.005; P = 0.005). The proportion of time spent in hypothermia was significantly lower in both the Enhanced with Warming Blanket Group and the Closed-Loop Thermoregulation Group compared to the Routine Group (P < 0.001; P < 0.001). Compared to the Routine Group, both the Enhanced with Warming Blanket Group and the Closed-Loop Thermoregulation Group had significantly shorter times to tracheal extubation (P = 0.033; P = 0.006) and length of stay in the PACU (P < 0.001; P < 0.001), as well as significantly reduced incidence of postoperative shivering (P = 0.010; P = 0.012).
conclusionsIoT-supported closed-loop temperature management maintains core temperatures, reduces hypothermia and shivering, and shortens extubation and recovery times in elderly laparoscopic rectal cancer patients effectively.
