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

Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors for revision adenoidectomy in children and to develop and validate a clinical model for individualized risk prediction to support clinical decision-making. Methods: A total of 222 patients were selected via a nested case-control design from a source cohort of 16,457 children who underwent adenoidectomy at Children's Hospital of Soochow University. The dataset was randomly split into a training set and a validation set at a 7:3 ratio. Independent predictors were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and seven predictive models were constructed for comparison. The final model's performance was evaluated based on its discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, AUC), calibration (calibration plot), and clinical utility (decision curve analysis, DCA). Results: Multivariate analysis identified six independent risk factors for revision adenoidectomy: adenoid size, surgical instrument type, concurrent tonsillotomy during the initial surgery, allergic rhinitis, otitis media with effusion, and perioperative antibiotic use. Among seven compared models, the logistic regression model showed the best discriminative ability with an AUC of 0.921 in the validation set. A nomogram and a freely accessible web application were developed to facilitate bedside risk calculation. Conclusion: This study provides the first validated clinical prediction model for revision adenoidectomy in children. The model demonstrates excellent performance and can help clinicians accurately identify children at high risk of needing a revision surgery.
