Effect of second-hand smoking on the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in children after adenoidectomy: a single-centre retrospective study.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, analgesia and critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPostoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are among the most common postoperative complications affecting children. In adult patients, cigarette smoking significantly reduces the incidence of PONV, although the mechanism underlying this effect is unclear. Here we aimed to investigate whether environmental tobacco smoke exposure influenced the PONV incidence among children.
methodsThis monocentric retrospective study included 1348 children (1-15 years of age), who underwent endoscopic adenoidectomy under general anaesthesia, between 22 March 2017 and 26 June 2023. Data for this study were obtained from the patient's medical records and from a telephone conversation with their parent.
resultsOur analysis revealed that the PONV incidence was significantly lower in children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), compared to in children who were not passive smokers (13.9% vs 22.1%; p < 0.001). Children of non-smoking parents were at a higher risk of developing PONV (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.31-2.58).
conclusionsAlthough exposure to ETS has many undesirable consequences, it is also associated with a lower incidence of PONV. Conversely, children without ETS exposure are at a higher risk of PONV development and should receive proactive pharmacological prophylaxis.
