Factors Influencing Post-Operative Oral Intake Following Tonsillectomy in Children with OSA.

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
objectiveTo investigate the factors that influence oral intake in the first 24 hours following tonsillectomy in children performed for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and their impact on dehydration in the 30-day post-operative period.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted reviewing the records of 1200 patients who underwent tonsillectomy. Patients were excluded if they were 19 years or older, did not have a diagnosis of SDB (sleep disordered breathing) or OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), or their oral intake was not recorded for 24 hours post-operatively. Primary outcomes were 24-hour post-operative oral intake controlled for body weight and post-operative dehydration determined by ED visits or phone calls for dehydration within 30 days post-operatively.
results357 patients were included. Higher BMI (body mass index;
conclusionOur findings suggest that age, BMI, operative time, time under anesthesia, AHI, pain, and the presence of a resident were significantly associated with post-operative oral intake following tonsillectomy. Post-operative oral intake was not associated with dehydration in the 30-day surgical recovery period.
