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
STUDY
objectivesAdenotonsillectomy (AT) improves short-term symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children; however, its long-term effects remain unclear. We aimed to verify the therapeutic long-term effects of AT in children with ADHD.
methodsThis retrospective control study included children ages < 18 years who were diagnosed with ADHD and receiving ADHD medications. Participants were divided into groups depending on whether AT was performed (AT [+] or AT [-] groups) and matched 1:1 for age, sex, and year and month of diagnosis using randomized nonreplacement selection.
resultsAmong patients with ADHD (n = 171,112), 3,615 underwent AT. In both groups, the number of drugs taken gradually increased before and decreased after the AT date (ATD). There was no difference in the number of drugs used before (
conclusionsAT does not result in significant long-term therapeutic effects in terms of medication use and health care utilization in children with ADHD. CITATION: Lee J, Choi A, Kim S, Kim K. Long-term effects of adenotonsillectomy in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
