The impact of obesity on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing aortic surgery.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2026. 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
backgroundPostoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are common after surgery in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for PPCs in ATAAD patients.
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 203 patients with ATAAD who underwent urgent aortic surgery between January 2023 and August 2024 Patients were divided into PPCs and non-PPCs groups. The incidence and types of PPCs were recorded, and risk factors were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. Postoperative outcomes were compared between two groups.
resultsPatients undergoing surgery for ATAAD, 36 (17.7%) developed PPCs. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified obese as an independent risk factor for PPCs (adjusted OR 3.805, 95% CI 1.408-10.285, P = 0.008).
conclusionsObese was an independent risk factor for PPCs in patients undergoing surgery for ATAAD. These findings highlight the importance of preoperative BMI assessment in optimizing perioperative management.
