Clinical outcomes and safety of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic outcomes of percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) and surgical tracheostomy (ST) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).
methodsClinical records of sTBI patients treated at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, between January 2022 and December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. A total of 116 patients underwent PDT and 104 underwent ST. Clinical data were compared between groups, including surgical details, perioperative parameters, physiological stability, postoperative inflammatory markers, clinical efficacy, complications, and quality of life.
resultsCompared with ST, PDT was associated with shorter operative time, smaller incision, faster wound healing, reduced intraoperative blood loss, shorter ventilation duration, and decreased lengths of ICU and hospital stay (
conclusionIn patients with sTBI, PDT offers advantages over ST, including easier operation, less trauma, mild postoperative inflammatory reaction, and faster recovery. It effectively lowers complication rates, enhances clinical efficacy, and improves quality of life, demonstrating high safety and broad applicability.
