Incidence, outcome and risk factors of perioperative pulmonary complications in pediatric patients with mediastinal mass.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThis retrospective study was designed to identify the incidence, outcome and analyze risk factors of perioperative pulmonary complications in children with mediastinal mass so that to achieve the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS).
methodsThis study enrolled 247 pediatric patients undergoing mediastinal mass resection from June 2016 to June 2022. Medical record was reviewed for basic characteristics, presenting symptoms, preoperative imaging results, intraoperative data, and the occurrence of any pulmonary complications. Perioperative pulmonary complication was defined as intraoperative hypoxemia, postoperative respiratory failure, postoperative pulmonary infection or atelectasis. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors for perioperative pulmonary complications.
resultsThe incidence of perioperative pulmonary complications was 25.9% and postoperative pneumonia was most common. children with perioperative pulmonary complications had longer mechanical ventilation time (186.5 min), ICU stay (1.5d) and hospital stay (9d, all P < 0.001). After multivariable analysis, preoperative cardiopulmonary compression symptoms (OR 21.337, P < 0.001), malignant tumor (OR 2.681, P = 0.043), anterior mediastinum(OR 2.616, P = 0.037), standardized tumor volume ≥ 0.65(OR 3.607, P = 0.003), intraoperative transfusion(OR 1.991, P = 0.004), surgery time ≥ 150 min (OR 2.363, P = 0.056) were the risk factors for perioperative pulmonary complications.
conclusionsPulmonary complications were still common in children with mediastinal mass during or after surgery, which can influence the recovery after surgery with the prolonged mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay and hospital stay. Preoperative cardiopulmonary compression symptoms, malignant tumor, anterior mediastinum, standardized tumor volume ≥ 0.65, intraoperative transfusion and longer surgery time are associated with the occurance of perioperative pulmonary complications.
