1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is prevalent in 35%-70% of the global pediatric population, leading to airway obstruction and sleep disturbances. Current diagnostic criteria for the adenoid-to-nasopharyngeal ( Methods: This retrospective study assessed pediatric outpatients aged 1-12 years who underwent lateral nasopharyngeal radiography. Measurements of adenoid depth (AD), nasopharyngeal depth (ND), and Results: In this investigation involving 2,629 outpatient children aged between 1 and 12 years, the median AD remained consistent at 14-15 mm, whereas ND increased from 21 to 27 mm, resulting in a decrease in the Conclusions: This study established percentile-based reference values (P5-P95) for AD, ND, and the
