Postoperative Pulmonary Complications: Clinical and Imaging Insights
Review in Balkan medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) continue to be a major cause of illness and death among surgical patients, affecting recovery and increasing healthcare expenses. This in-depth review examines the wide range of PPCs, covering infectious, inflammatory, mechanical, airway, vascular, lymphatic, and transplant-related issues. It highlights the vital function of imaging-especially computed tomography-in promptly identifying, correctly diagnosing, and managing these problems. Frequent complications like pneumonia, empyema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, atelectasis, and pulmonary embolism are covered, as well as rarer but serious conditions such as lung torsion, bronchopleural fistulas, and pseudoaneurysms. The review describes clinic signs and matches them with imaging characteristics to support diagnosis and treatment planning. It also underscores the value of a team-based approach involving surgeons, radiologists, and critical care experts to enable timely care and better patient results.
