Association Between Temperature Management Using Passive Thermal Insulation and a Modified Aldrete Score During Cryoablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Under General Anesthesia.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 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: Unintentional intraoperative hypothermia (core temperature < 36°C), a common and frequently preventable complication in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia (GA), involves adverse effects on coagulation and prolonged recovery from GA. Thus, this study aimed to clarify the effect of passive thermal insulation (PTI) with a heat insulation blanket (HIB) on successful early recovery from GA in patients undergoing cryoablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) under GA. Methods: Fifty-five patients undergoing cryoablation under GA for nonvalvular paroxysmal AF were prospectively assigned to the Blanket ( Results: This study demonstrated that the PTI using HIBs significantly reduced the incidence of esophageal hypothermia from 93% to 68% and increased the rate of successful early recovery from GA from 37% to 64%. Conclusions: PTI using HIBs was associated with a smaller decline in esophageal temperature and a higher proportion of patients achieving MAS ≥ 9 at 2 h after discontinuation of anesthesia during cryoablation under GA. Larger studies using validated core temperature measurements and clinically meaningful recovery endpoints are warranted. Trial Registration: This study was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry of Japan (UMIN000057904).
