Methods Single‐centre study in Korea
Participants 50 patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery
4 patients were excluded because of incomplete data; no other exclusion criteria were described
Interventions Room temperature irrigation fluid (n = 23): volume irrigated 10.3 ± 4.3 litres, surgical time 91.1 ± 32.4 minutes
Warmed irrigation fluid to 37°C to 39°C (n = 23): volume irrigated 9.8 ± 3.2 litres, surgical time 94.5 ± 21.9 minutes
Outcomes Core temperature (oesophageal) measured every 20 minutes; shivering; fall in haemoglobin
Notes No shivering score was used
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Randomly assigned
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Not described
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk Not described
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Shivering detected by an independent observer
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk 4 excluded because of incomplete data
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk No evidence of this
Other bias Low risk None
