Adenoidectomy as day surgery: feasibility and outcomes.
Article in Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale, 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
Objectives: Adenoidectomy performed as day surgery is a safe and cost-effective procedure, but patients may be occasionally admitted overnight due to the need for extended care. This study investigates the unplanned admission rate following day surgery adenoidectomy in children. Methods: Data from 3,396 children who underwent adenoidectomy from 2010 to 2023 were retrospectively collected in a tertiary centre. Inclusion criteria were age > 2 years and ASA score I-II. The study focused on evaluating factors such as age, gender, duration of surgery, surgeon's experience, adverse events and multiple surgeries. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed, and ROC curves were built for continuous variables. Results: The unplanned admission rate was 2.3%, with postoperative nausea/vomiting being the most common complication. Respiratory complications were notably low. Factors associated with unplanned admission at multivariate analysis included the end time of surgery (p < 0.001), surgical duration (p = 0.001) and surgeon's experience (p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study confirms the safety and feasibility of adenoidectomy as day surgery in a tertiary centre, with a low unplanned admission rate and infrequent serious complications. Further studies are needed to generalise these findings to different settings and populations.
