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

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can affect all ages from infants to adults. The clinical pathology is initially age-dependent and symptoms first become comparable to those in adults during adolescence. Significant indications for OSA during childhood are craniofacial dysmorphia, failure to thrive, susceptibility to infections or delayed development of speech. Prior to puberty children can become conspicuous due to agitation, attention deficits, poor school performance or secondary enuresis. Crucial for anesthesia is a presumptive diagnosis in order to consider OSA for the forthcoming strategy. Safety aspects in the treatment of OSA children are especially related to the perioperative securing of the airway and a sufficiently long monitoring of respiratory functions.
