Incidence, outcomes, and risk factors of postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema: a historical cohort study.
Article in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeSubcutaneous emphysema is a common complication of laparoscopic surgery. We aimed to determine the incidence, outcomes, and risk factors of postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema.
methodsWe conducted a single-centre historical cohort study of adult patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery at Kagoshima University Hospital between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2021. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify independent factors associated with postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema.
resultsWe included 1,642 patients with a median [interquartile range] age of 65 [53-72] yr. Postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema was diagnosed in 600 (37%) patients. Female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.82; 99.5% confidence interval [CI], 1.29 to 2.58), peak end-tidal carbon dioxide ≥ 45 mm Hg (OR, 2.07; 99.5% CI, 1.43 to2.98), and use of the AirSeal® Intelligent Flow System (CONMED Corp., Largo, FL, USA) (OR, 3.37; 99.5% CI, 2.34 to 4.87) were independent factors associated with postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema. In addition, a lower body mass index was significantly associated with increased postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema (P for trend < 0.001). No complications were associated with postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema.
conclusionsThis historical cohort study showed a relatively high incidence of postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema. In addition to previously reported risk factors, female sex and use of the AirSeal Intelligent Flow System were found to be associated with postlaparoscopic subcutaneous emphysema.
