Risk factors for pneumonia after endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery in cases with prior esophageal cancer treatment.

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
Background and Study Aims: Endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery is an effective treatment for superficial laryngopharyngeal cancer, particularly in cases with prior esophageal cancer treatment. Despite its frequent application, reports on the risk factors for postoperative complications are limited. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for pneumonia after endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery and to examine the variations in pneumonia incidence among the types of prior esophageal cancer treatment. Methods: Patients who had a history of esophageal cancer treatment and subsequently underwent endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery for superficial pharyngolaryngeal cancer were retrospectively analyzed. We examined the association between postoperative pneumonia and several factors, including number of lesions; diameter of the resected lesion; and type of previous esophageal cancer treatment, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection, chemoradiotherapy, and esophagectomy. Results: The study included 79 patients who had a mean age of 67.4 years. Postoperative pneumonia occurred in 16.4%. Multivariate analysis showed that the pneumonia incidence significantly increased in cases with multiple lesions (OR 4.794, 95% CI 1.133-20.288, Conclusions: Multiple lesions and larger lesion diameter were the significant predictors of postoperative pneumonia. Moreover, endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery can be safely performed even in patients who have previously undergone esophageal cancer surgery, although careful monitoring remains necessary.
