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
Looking for a simple and inexpensive method to reduce patients' pain during tonsillectomy. Bilateral tonsillectomy patients were enrolled and placed into different groups based on their admission numbers. Patients with odd numbers had electrical tonsillectomy on the right side with hypertonic saline injection into peritonsillar gap (group A) or electrical tonsillectomy on the left side without hypertonic saline injection (group B). Those with even numbers had electrical tonsillectomy on the left side with hypertonic saline injection into peritonsillar gap (group A) or electrical tonsillectomy on the right side without hypertonic saline injection (group B). Pain, operative bleeding, post-operation bleeding and operation time were evaluated. Injecting hypertonic saline into peritonsillar gap reduced pain caused by electrical tonsillectomy but did not impact operation or postoperative bleeding and operation time. While simple and economic, monopolar electrical tonsillectomy with the help of hypertonic saline injected into peritonsillar gap can effectively relieve patients from pain compared with surgeries without hypertonic saline injection.
