Association between adenoid bacteriology and clinical characteristics of adenoid-related diseases in children.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe aim of this research is to find the association between the pathogenic bacteria obtained from the adenoid culture and clinical characteristics of adenoid-related diseases in children.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of children who had adenoidectomy for adenoid-related diseases. Demographic data, diagnoses, indications for adenoidectomy and bacterial culture results were collected. The adenoid size was measured in the lateral skull X-ray as adenoid-nasopharyngeal ratio. Associations between the culture results and the demographic data, adenoid size, and the diagnoses were analyzed.
resultsThere were 407 children who had adenoidectomy for obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (75.2%), otitis media with effusion (19.2%), and chronic sinusitis (5.6%). Median age was 5.9 years. Common pathogenic bacteria in the adenoid were
conclusionAge of the patients was the significant factor associated with the bacteriological findings of the adenoid while size and types of adenoid-related diseases were not associated with the outcome of bacterial culture.
