Postoperative pulmonary complications in acute type A aortic dissection.
Observational study in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to identify the perioperative risk factors associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) following emergency surgery for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD) and to evaluate the impact of these complications on short- and long-term patient outcomes.
methodsA retrospective observational analysis was conducted on 750 adult patients who underwent emergency surgery for ATAAD between January 2017 and December 2019.
resultsThe overall in-hospital mortality was 5.7%. Among 750 patients, 91 patients(12.1%) developed PPCs. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that smoking(OR = 2.212, 95%CI: 1.361-3.595, P = 0.001), previous cardiac surgery(OR = 2.818, 95%CI: 1.259-6.310, P = 0.012), CPB time(OR = 1.003, 95%CI: 1.000-1.006, P = 0.047), and red blood cell transfusion(OR = 1.091, 95%CI: 1.059-1.124, P < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of developing PPCs. Patients who developed PPCs had a higher 30-day mortality rate (P < 0.001), longer lengths of stay in the ICU and hospital(P < 0.001), increased healthcare costs(P < 0.001), and lower long-term survival rates(P = 0.005).
conclusionThe incidence of PPCs is high in patients undergoing cardiac surgery for aortic dissection, adversely affecting their prognosis. This study identified four key risk factors associated with the development of PPCs.
