Respiratory training reduces postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the effects of respiratory training in reducing postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in elderly gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia.
methodsA total of 240 elderly gynecological patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia were included. Among them, 120 patients received standard postoperative care (control group), while the other 120 received additional respiratory training (research group). The incidence of PPCs, length of hospital stay, treatment costs, pulmonary function parameters, arterial blood gas indices, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and respiratory rate (RR) were compared between the two groups. Risk factors associated with PPCs were also identified through univariate and binary logistic regression analyses.
resultsThe research group had a significantly lower overall incidence of PPCs, shorter hospital stays, and reduced treatment costs compared to the control group (all P < 0.05). Postoperative pulmonary function was better preserved, and arterial blood gas parameters improved more markedly in the research group (both P < 0.05). Although MAP showed no significant change, RR was significantly lower (both P < 0.05). Regression analyses identified body mass index, and treatment modality as independent risk factors for PPCs.
conclusionsRespiratory training significantly reduces the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia and contributes to better recovery outcomes.
