Intraoperative hypotension and postoperative pneumonia in patients after selective intracranial tumor resection: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Postoperative pneumonia is common and associated with increased postoperative mortality. Intraoperative hypotension is suggested to be associated with an increased risk of postoperative surgical infection. We aim to explore whether intraoperative hypotension could increase the risk of postoperative pneumonia in adult patients undergoing intracranial tumor resection. Methods: A total of 341 patients who received selective intracranial tumor resection under general anesthesia between January 2018, and December 2022 in a single university hospital were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. The outcomes included the incidence of postoperative pneumonia and the association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative pneumonia. Results: The incidence of postoperative pneumonia during hospitalization after intracranial tumor resection was 16.8%. Univariate analysis revealed a history of preoperative smoking, intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 55 mmHg, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (ASA) > 2, the duration of surgery > 4 hours, and the duration of controlled ventilation > 4 hours were identified as possible risk factors ( Conclusions: Intraoperative hypotension may be associated with postoperative pneumonia in patients who received selective intracranial tumor resection under general anesthesia.
