[Hospitalization of children after ENT surgery in Germany].
Article in HNO, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMorbidity following tonsil surgery is widely determined by pain, odynophagia, and bleeding. Detailed information about postoperative care in pediatric patients in Germany in the context of otolaryngologic interventions is currently lacking. MATERIALS AND
methodsA questionnaire including eight questions to clarify trends and traditions in hospitalization strategies for pediatric patients was sent via email on January 14, 2019, to all heads of ENT departments who were also members of the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (DGHNO). The electronic survey was designed by the Pediatric Working Group of the DGHNO.
resultsThe response rate was 72.9% (120/166), one response was excluded because it was not provided via the online tool. Children are currently transferred to pediatric clinics after surgery in 64 of 120 otorhinolaryngology departments, a tradition in existence for at least 5 years in 48 of the 64 departments. In the remaining 56 institutions, children remained in the otorhinolaryngology department despite 30 having specialized pediatric clinics or clinics for pediatric surgery. This strategy is expected to be discontinued in 5 of the 56 hospitals in due course. A separate pediatric ENT clinic within the same institution is uncommon (27/120). The average travel time of on-call physicians in cases of postoperative bleeding is 3.4 min; transportation of the child to the emergency operation room takes 5.4 min on average. The nursing staff is predominantly responsible for transportation of pediatric emergency patients (109/120). The wards and operation rooms are commonly located in the same building, but on different floors (83/120).
conclusionThere is currently no uniform hospitalization strategy for postoperative care of children who undergo typical otorhinolaryngologic interventions in Germany.
