Chronic Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Complicated by Secondary Tracheomalacia.

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
backgroundTracheomalacia is an uncommon airway disorder, and vascular compression is a rare underlying cause. Reports of tracheomalacia associated with chronic aortic dissection are exceedingly limited. CASE SUMMARY: A 46-year-old woman with hypertension, stroke with residual left-sided weakness, HIV, and chronic kidney disease presented with chronic aortic dissection of an 8.8-cm ascending aortic aneurysm. She underwent elective ascending aortic hemiarch replacement. Her postoperative course was complicated by delayed extubation and recurrent hypoxic respiratory failure. Bronchoscopy revealed previously undiagnosed severe tracheomalacia, necessitating tracheostomy and prolonged ventilatory support. She gradually improved and was discharged to rehabilitation. DISCUSSION: This case highlights that the early recognition of airway collapse in patients with large thoracic aneurysms is crucial to prevent extubation failure and optimize postoperative care. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Early postoperative extubation failure in patients with large thoracic aneurysms should prompt evaluation for airway collapse. Prompt bronchoscopic assessment is important for planning management.
