1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo examine the consequences of preoperative invasive ventilation (IV), postoperative IV and reintubation on the occurrence of ES in type C CEA patients.

methodsThis retrospective study collected the data from patients diagnosed as Gross type C CEA and underwent surgical repair at our institution between January 2013 and December 2022. Comprehensive data, including demographic characteristics, preoperative comorbidities, perioperative indicators, and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed. We performed univariate analysis followed by multivariate binary logistic regression analysis to clarify the effect of IV on ES.

resultsAmong the 250 infants included in this study, 35 cases (14.0%) developed ES. Operative duration was significantly longer in ES cases (median: 127 vs 106 min, P = 0.007). Postoperative invasive ventilation (82.9% vs 61.4%, P = 0.014), reintubation (40.0% vs 11.2%; P = 0.001), anastomotic leakage (34.3% vs 17.7%, P = 0.023), and prolonged hospitalization (median: 35 vs 24 days, P = 0.003) were more frequent in ES infants. Multivariable analysis confirmed postoperative reintubation (adjusted OR = 3.497, P = 0.007) as independent risk factors for ES.

conclusionPostoperative reintubation was an independent risk factor for ES following type C CEA repair. To reduce the need for reintubation, individualized respiratory support strategies were recommended.
