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

The most common disease involving the tonsils among children and adults is chronic tonsillitis. There are different surgical techniques described in literature for the treatment of diseases involving the tonsils. Of these, the most routinely performed and the traditional method is conventional dissection tonsillectomy. The main disadvantage of this method is bleeding and postoperative pain. Radiofrequency ablation is found to overcome this limitation due to its mechanism of action. Both monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency ablation can be used in the surgical management. The effectiveness of monopolar radiofrequency has been proved in different fields of medicine. Hence new studies can be directed in comparing monopolar radiofrequency ablation with other techniques of tonsillectomy.
