Polysomnographic outcomes of revision adenoidectomy in children with obstructive sleep apnea and recurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy.

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
introductionRecurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy after adenotonsillectomy in children can result in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to assess the polysomnographic (PSG) outcomes of revision adenoidectomy in children with recurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy and OSA.
methodsThis was a single-center retrospective study that included children with sleep studies that confirmed OSA and known history of adenotonsillectomy who were diagnosed with adenoidal hypertrophy and subsequently underwent revision adenoidectomy. Pre- and postoperative PSG variables of revision adenoidectomy were included in the analysis.
resultsA total of 20 children were included in the study. The cohort included 13 males and 7 females with a mean age of 7.8 years (± 3.6 years). The mean BMI z score was 1.96 [1.31, 2.43]. The median duration from adenotonsillectomy performance was 2.3 years [1.4, 4.0]. Overall, revision adenoidectomy resulted in significant improvements in multiple respiratory parameters, including AHI 6.6 [1.4, 13. 7] vs 14.8 [7.4, 20.7], p = 0.02; oxygen desaturations nadir 88.0 [84.0, 93.0] vs 80.0 [72.2, 88.9], p = 0.01; supine AHI 8.6 [1.5, 14.3] vs 17.6 [8.3, 30.2], p = 0.02; and arousal index 12.2 [9.6, 15.7] vs 18.9 [13.4, 24.9], p = 0.04.
conclusionsChildren with recurrent/residual adenoidal hypertrophy after adenotonsillectomy who undergo revision adenoidectomy experience improvements in respiratory event, gas exchange, and arousal index.
