Transoral Endoscopic-Assisted Adenoidectomy: A Prospective Study.
Article in International archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2026. 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
Introduction: Adenoidectomy, with or without tonsillectomy, is a common pediatric surgical procedure. It has been noted that blind curettage has many drawbacks. First of all, it cannot completely remove the adenoid tissue from the posterior choana or the margins of the Eustachian tube orifices, which leads to incomplete removal. Secondly, applying curettage blindly may damage the Eustachian tube opening. Objective: To illustrate our surgical technique for a successful and safe adenoidectomy using a transoral 70° endoscope. Methods: The present was a prospective study carried out from December 2022 to September 2024. All patients had adenoid hypertrophy either alone or with tonsillar hypertrophy. There were 46 female and 50 male patients, all of whom underwent transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy using a 70° scope. Results: There were 96 patients included in this study. The mean age was 5 years and 8 months. Of that total, 35 cases were revisions. The primary procedure was done 12 to 26 months prior (mean: 19). All patients were compliant for the scheduled fiberoptic scope 1 year after surgery. We found that 4 patients (4.16%) had small adenoid regrowth, primarily near the Eustachian tube orifices, without causing any symptoms or airway compromise. Conclusion: Transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy is a technically viable procedure that is better than the traditional curettage method. There was reduced likelihood of incomplete adenoid removal, and it is nearly impossible to damage adjacent structures, making it safer than blind curettage.
