1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionIatrogenic injuries to the trachea and main bronchi present one of the most dramatic complications traditionally treated by thoracotomy and transcervical-transtracheal approaches but almost never by video-assisted thoracic surgery.

aimTo evaluate our experience in a video-assisted thoracic surgery repair of iatrogenic tracheal lacerations. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe group under analysis consisted of 5 consecutive patients (1 male, mean age: 52 years, range: 32-56 years) who were treated for postintubation and intraoperative damage to the tracheobronchial tree using video-assisted thoracic surgery within the period 2015-2018. Thoracic computed tomography and fibreoptic tracheobronchoscopy were used to confirm iatrogenic tracheal ruptures before surgery. The membranous rupture of the trachea was closed with interrupted absorbable sutures, which were additionally sutured through the oesophageal wall or the wall of the gastric conduit to strengthen the suture line. Postoperative treatment included broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and control tracheobronchoscopy.

resultsThe average duration of thoracoscopic tracheal rupture repair with suture line reinforcement was 103 min (range: 60-180 min). All patients were treated thoracoscopically without resorting to open surgery and were discharged without any postoperative complications within 16 days (range: 8-22 days).

conclusionsThe minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach may be the method of choice for the treatment of intraoperative and post-intubation injuries of the tracheobronchial tree.
