Surgical outcome and perioperative management of tracheal resection and reconstruction for patients with a primary tracheal tumor.

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
purposeTracheal resection and reconstruction for primary tracheal tumors is a rare procedure in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes and propose a reliable perioperative management strategy for this method.
methodsFourteen patients underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction for primary tracheal tumors at our institute between 2016 and 2025. We reviewed the clinical courses of these patients.
resultsHistological types included adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in five patients, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in four, glomus tumor in two, and rhabdomyosarcoma, angioleiomyoma, and schwannoma in one case each. The surgical approaches were cervical incision in five patients, median sternotomy in six, and right thoracotomy in three. The average length of the resected trachea was 4.3 rings [3-6]. Postoperative complications included stenosis, mediastinitis, and phrenic and recurrent nerve palsy in one case each. No treatment-related deaths were noted. Postoperative radiotherapy was administered to six patients in this study. Only one patient with ACC developed intraluminal recurrence. Two patients with SCC developed lymph node or pulmonary recurrence. Three deaths occurred because of the primary disease, and one occurred due to other causes.
conclusionsTracheal resection and reconstruction using an appropriate approach is recommended for primary tracheal tumors. Postoperative radiotherapy provides reliable local control.
