Beneficial effects of adenotonsillectomy in children with sickle cell disease.
Article in ERJ open research, 2020. 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
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) is frequently performed in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Our aim was to evaluate the impact of this surgery on overnight oxygenation and rates of complications in these patients. Children with SCD who underwent T&A between 2008 and 2014 in two tertiary hospitals were retrospectively evaluated. Overnight oximetry and admission rates due to vaso-occlusive pain episodes (VOEs) and acute chest syndrome (ACS) in the year preceding and following the surgery were compared. 19 patients (10 males, 53%) with a median age of 6 years (range 3.5-8) were included. A significant increase of mean overnight arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (
