1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Adenoidectomy is among the most frequent surgical procedures performed on children. The rationale for adenoidectomy is to remove a chronically infected or enlarged and obstructing adenoid. Adenoidectomies are performed on children who have recurrent or chronic otitis media with effusion, on children with chronic rhinosinusitis, and on children with nasopharyngeal obstruction causing sleep disturbances and continuous mouth breathing. Various underlying factors that lead to adenoidectomy are also associated with asthma. Asthma is associated with recurrent respiratory tract infections predisposing individuals to recurrent or chronic otitis media and chronic rhinosinusitis. Children with asthma also have an increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing that is treated with adenoidectomy in the presence of nasopharyngeal obstruction. In nonasthmatic children, adenoidectomy does not influence the development of IgE-mediated allergy, bronchial hyperreactivity, or exhaled nitric oxide concentrations, all of which are surrogate asthma markers. Adenoidectomy in selected asthmatic children may relieve comorbidities associated with asthma.
