Influence of obesity on nocturnal oxygen saturation in young children.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
unlabelledObesity is increasing worldwide and it is accompanied by major health effects. In adults and school-aged children, obesity is associated with decreased respiratory function, which may lead to disturbed sleeping and subsequently difficulties in concentration and behavioural disorders. The evidence for the association between obesity and decreased respiratory function in younger children is scarce. To explore the association between body weight and nocturnal respiratory function in young children, 1 to 3 years old, nocturnal pulse oximetry was performed at home. Children with tonsillar hypertrophy were excluded. Percentage of time with oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) <95 % was measured and its association with body mass index (BMI) for age z scores was analysed. Pulse oximetric data of 51 children, including 18 children with a BMI for age above +2 standard deviations, were obtained for this study. Linear regression analysis, correction for gender and parental smoking, showed a positive association between the natural logarithm of SpO(2) <95 % and BMI for age z score [regression coefficient (β) 0.19, 95 % confidence interval 0.00-0.39].
conclusionIn young children, higher body weight is associated with a decrease in nocturnal oxygen saturation.
