The impact of adenoid hypertrophy on obstructive sleep apnea in children with allergic rhinitis: a retrospective analysis of ventilation function and treatment outcomes.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Adenoid hypertrophy is known to contribute to upper airway obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. The impact of adenoid hypertrophy on ventilation function, allergic rhinitis symptoms, and treatment outcomes in children with coexisting allergic rhinitis and OSA has not been extensively characterized. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the influence of adenoid hypertrophy on OSA in children with allergic rhinitis. Methods: A total of 105 children with allergic rhinitis-related OSA were included in this retrospective study between January 2022 and December 2023 and divided into the nonadenoid hypertrophy group (n=52) and the adenoid hypertrophy group (n=53) based on adenoid hypertrophy. Nasal ventilation function parameters, polysomnography (PSG) findings, allergic rhinitis symptoms, and treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: Compared with those without adenoid hypertrophy, children with adenoid hypertrophy presented increased nasal resistance, nasal expiratory flow velocity, and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI); lower oxygen saturation during sleep; and increased obstructive and central apnea indices. Additionally, adenoid hypertrophy was associated with increased nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. Moreover, the no-adenoid hypertrophy group demonstrated higher rates of improvement in OSA severity and parental satisfaction with treatment. Conclusions: Adenoid hypertrophy significantly impacts ventilation ability, OSA severity, allergic rhinitis symptoms, and treatment outcomes in children with allergic rhinitis-related OSA.
