[Medicinal treatment of breathing disorders in adenotonsillar hyperplasia].
Article in HNO, 2014. 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
backgroundAdenotonsillar hyperplasia (ATH) can lead to severe breathing disorders, such as impaired nasal breathing, mouth breathing, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. In such cases ATH should be treated mostly by performing adenoidectomy and/or adenotonsillectomy. There is increasing evidence that anti-inflammatory medication (AIM) is effective in treating ATH-related breathing disorders.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to provide evidence and recommendations for the use of AIM in the treatment of ATH-related breathing disorders.
methodsIn this study 12 national pediatric sleep experts were included into a Delphi process and formulated indications and recommendations.
resultsThe use of AIM in the treatment of ATH-related breathing disorders is sufficiently supported by the results of randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews. Nasal beclometason and nasal mometason have been studied for the treatment of enlarged adenoids and nasal fluticason and oral montelukast for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. The use of AIM for first-line treatment should be restricted to selected indications, such as a characteristic patient age and exclusion of an acute upper respiratory tract infection. Evidence-based recommendations are given concerning indications, dosage, treatment duration and correct administration of AIM.
conclusionsAnti-inflammatory medications are simple and effective alternatives for the treatment of ATH-related breathing disorders. These guidelines are intended to promote the use of AIM by pediatricians in ambulatory care settings.
