Surgical management of congenital tracheal stenosis associated with complex cardiovascular anomalies.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2022. 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
purposeAlthough surgical outcomes have improved in patients with congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS), the management of such patients with complex cardiovascular anomalies (CVAs) remains a challenge. This study aimed to clarify the clinical features of this combination.
methodsMedical records of 14 patients with complex CVAs who had undergone slide tracheoplasty for CTS between May 2016 and February 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Complex CVAs were defined as CVAs without left pulmonary artery sling and simple cardiac shunts. Data collected included age and body weight at tracheal reconstruction, preoperative respiratory support, surgery details, and mortality.
resultsThe median age and body weight at tracheal reconstruction were 3.5 (range, 1-17) months and 4.7 (range, 2.3-8.2) kg, respectively. Simultaneous repair of CTS and CVAs was performed in eight patients and staged repair in six patients. Patients who underwent simultaneous repair required preoperative respiratory support more frequently than those who underwent staged repair (8/8 [100%] vs 2/6 [33.3%]; P = 0.015). No mortality occurred.
conclusionsPatients with complex CVAs often require tracheal reconstruction in early infancy. Surgical management strategy for this combination was generally decided on the basis of the severity of respiratory symptoms due to CTS.
