Effect of Body Mass Index on Posttonsillectomy Hemorrhage.
Article in BioMed research international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveObesity affects adverse outcomes in patients undergoing various surgeries. Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures and posttonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) is the major complication in patients with tonsillectomy. However, the effect of body mass index (BMI) on posttonsillectomy bleeding episodes is not well known. This study aimed to assess the clinical association between obesity and PTH.
methodsA total of 98 tonsillectomies were retrospectively reviewed. Patient charts were analyzed regarding demographic data and the indication for surgery. Patients with PTH were compared with uneventful cases. Patients were divided into three groups based on BMI: normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m
resultsPTH occurred in 13% of patients with normal weight, in 23.5% of patients with overweight, and in 50% patients with obesity. The occurrence of PTH was significantly higher in patients with obesity than in those with normal weight and overweight (
conclusionsOur findings suggest that the obese condition is independently associated with the incidence of PTH.
