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

purposeThe influence of adenoidectomy ± tonsillotomy/tonsillectomy on objective sleep parameters in children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) was determined with the help of ambulatory polygraphy (WatchPat300

methods27 children treated with adenoidectomy ± tonsillotomy/tonsillectomy at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of Innsbruck, were consecutively included in this prospective clinical trial. Pre- and postoperative objective sleeping parameters were assessed with outpatient polygraphy (WatchPat300

resultsMost of the children presented with severe OSA (41%, 11/27). The mean preoperative AHI was 10.2 (± 7.4). Postoperatively it declined to 3.7 (± 1.8; p < 0.0001). Following surgery 19/24 (79%) children had a mild OSA and 8/24 (21%) a moderate OSA. None of the children suffered from severe OSA anymore after surgery. The postoperative AHI did not correlate with the age (p = 0.3), BMIp (p = 0.6) or extent of surgery (p = 0.9). The mean postoperative OSA-18 survey score was significantly lower than the preoperative one (70.7 ± 26.7 vs. 34.5 ± 10.5; p < 0.0001). The postoperative OSA-18 questionnaire showed a normal survey score below 60 in 23/24 (96%) of the children.
