Postoperative Respiratory Complications After Adenotonsillectomy in Children With High-Risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

resultsA total of 307 patients met inclusion criteria. Median age was 6.5 years and 63% were male. Twenty-five (8.1%) required major respiratory intervention and 29 (9.7%) required ICU admission after AT. Major interventions and ICU admissions were significantly associated with neuromuscular disease (P < .01), higher obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (oAHI), higher CO
