Comparison of tracheal resection outcomes at a university hospital vs county hospital setting.

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
objectivesTo evaluate the role of hospital setting on outcomes in open airway surgery by comparing patients who underwent surgery (cricotracheal resection [CTR] or tracheal resection [TR]) at a publicly funded county hospital vs a private university hospital.
methodsRetrospective chart review of patients undergoing CTR or TR at two institutions; a private university hospital and a publicly funded county hospital from September 2014 to September 2019. Length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, total time to discharge, minor and major complications were the primary endpoints. Significance was defined as a
resultsThere were a total of 43 patients (17 county, 26 university) who had CTR or TR during the study period. Length of stay outcomes was reported as mean length of stay ± SD. There was a significant difference in ICU stay at the county hospital (7.17 (±5.36 days) compared to the university hospital (2.52 ± 1.85 days,
conclusionPatients who underwent open airway surgery at the county hospital were more likely to have a longer ICU stay and slight increase in complications despite having a lower ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) classification and younger age. These outcomes are multifactorial and may be related to poorer access to primary care preoperatively leading to delay in diagnosis and treatment, poorly controlled or undiagnosed medical comorbidities, and differences in hospital resources. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
