1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Chronic palatal and nasopharyngeal inflammations are common lesions in pediatric pathology, with major effects on children's development. The study included 34 cases of chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis for which we quantified immunohistochemically and analyzed the distribution of inflammatory elements in the follicular, extrafollicular and epithelial compartments, in relation to the composite histological scores and the clinico-epidemiological profile of the lesions. The cases were more frequent under the age of 10, in female patients, coming from urban areas, with the diagnosis of tonsillitis. B-lymphocytes have been associated with follicular areas in tonsillitis and epithelial areas in adenoiditis. In all compartments, T-lymphocytes were more frequently associated with tonsillitis and plasma cells associated with adenoiditis. Macrophages and dendritic cells had a relatively uniform distribution for the three compartments in all cases. The results obtained indicate different inflammatory phenotypes for chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis, an aspect that may be useful for stratifying patients for optimal therapy.
