Association between Tonsillectomy and Cardiovascular Diseases in Adults.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to evaluate the association between tonsillectomy and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the Korean adult population. Using data from the 2002-2015 Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort, a total of 1082 participants aged 40 years or older who had undergone tonsillectomy were matched with 4328 control individuals for age, sex, income, and region of residence. We evaluated the incidence of CVDs in both the tonsillectomy and control groups and calculated the hazard ratios (HRs) of stroke, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and heart failure (HF) for participants who underwent tonsillectomy using a stratified Cox proportional hazard model. The incidence rates of stroke (81.3 vs. 46.6 per 10,000 person-years) and IHD (112.3 vs. 64.9 per 10,000 person-years) were significantly higher in patients who had undergone tonsillectomy than in the control group. After adjustment, the tonsillectomy group exhibited a 1.78-fold and 1.60-fold higher occurrence of stroke (CI = 1.32-2.42,
