Core temperature measurement methods and their accuracy in pediatric intensive care units: a narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Accurate core temperature monitoring in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) is crucial for assessing health status, guiding therapies, and predicting outcomes. Objective: To review core temperature measurement methods and their accuracy in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), with emphasis on emerging non-invasive technologies. Content: We compare commonly used peripheral, non-invasive, and invasive techniques (including temporal artery, tympanic, zero-heat-flux thermometry, infrared thermography, and esophageal/rectal/bladder/nasopharyngeal sites) and summarize factors that affect agreement with core temperature under critical illness. Conclusion: Accurate temperature assessment supports timely diagnosis and therapy guidance. Evidence to date suggests that zero-heat-flux thermometry and infrared thermography are promising for continuous, non-invasive monitoring, but require further validation across pediatric ages and clinical scenarios.
