Impact of Nurse-Led Versus Surgeon-Led Preoperative Counseling and Follow-Up on Postoperative Outcomes in Pediatric Tonsillectomy: A Longitudinal Observational Study.
Observational study in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2025. 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
BACKGROUND Pre-tonsillectomy complex challenges in explaining surgeries requirements and preparing children for curative surgeries. In addition, post-tonsillectomy pain and complications are reported in children with tonsillitis. The objective of the study was to compare the intensities of postoperative pain and frequencies of postoperative complications among children undergoing elective tonsillectomy who received different types of counseling and follow-up care. MATERIAL AND METHODS Children received pre-tonsillectomy nurse-led counseling and post-tonsillectomy nurse-led follow-up care for 6 months (NCC cohort, n=29), pre-tonsillectomy surgeon-led counseling and post-tonsillectomy surgeon-led follow-up care for 6 moths (FSS cohort, n=35), or did not receive counseling and received everyday surgeons' visits during hospital stays only (UUS cohort, n=38). RESULTS Post-tonsillectomy pain was 4 (IQ range, 5-4) per child at discharge from the hospital. The children reported mild pain during the 1-month follow-up. Children in the NCC cohort had fever, post-tonsillectomy pain at discharge and 1 months after surgeries, needed less tramadol, had fewer hospital stays, had fewer immediate and late post-tonsillectomy complications (especially anxiety and vomiting), and had higher personal satisfaction and higher clinical benefits than children in the FSS and UUS cohorts (P<0.05). Nausea was reported in all children. A total of 56 (55%) children had a decrease in oral intake during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS Children may experience more post-tonsillectomy pain than expected at discharge and during follow-up. After tonsillectomy, children had a decrease in oral intake. Nurse-led counseling and follow-up care have favorable post-tonsillectomy outcomes and high personal satisfaction of children undergoing curative tonsillectomies.
