Trachea repair using an autologous pericardial patch combined with a 3D carbon fiber stent: A case report.

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
This study is the first to use an autologous pericardial patch combined with a 3D carbon fiber stent for the plastic repair of a large trachea defect. Radical surgery is the optimal therapy for primary malignant tracheal tumors. Tracheoplasty or repair is required to guarantee trachea integrity and normal ventilation function after tracheal tumor resection. Here, we present a case of plastic repair of the trachea using an autologous pericardial patch and a 3D custom-made carbon fiber stent. A 4 cm trachea defect was successfully repaired after resecting a malignant schwannoma. The postoperative ventilatory function was normal without obvious symptoms of discomfort. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed a smooth mucosal surface of the endotracheal wall and patency of the airway. CT scans performed 3 years after surgery showed no recurrence. Therefore, we can conclude that a 3D carbon fiber stent is feasible for abolishing patch floating and preventing tracheal stenosis.
