Application of Infrared Thermography in Early Screening of Sepsis and Prediction of Septic Shock Risk: A Systematic Review.
Review in Emergency medicine international, 2026. 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
Background: Infrared thermography (IRT), a noninvasive imaging modality capable of capturing micron-level temperature variations (resolution up to 0.03°C) and generating thermal maps, has demonstrated unique value in dynamically reflecting physiological and pathological states. Recent studies have explored its potential as a diagnostic tool for sepsis. This review assesses the feasibility of IRT in detecting sepsis and septic shock. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases using combinations of keywords ("infrared thermography," "thermal imaging," "sepsis," "septic shock," "shock") in titles, abstracts, or topics. Articles published after 2015 were included. Results: After applying exclusion criteria, 11 studies were analyzed. Most findings highlighted IRT's efficacy in early sepsis detection, disease progression monitoring, and prognostic evaluation. Conclusion: IRT serves as a valuable tool for early diagnosis and monitoring of sepsis, with significant potential for broader clinical adoption. Further standardization and technical refinement are required to enhance its reliability in critical care settings.
