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

purposeAdenotonsillectomy (AT) is the first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children irrespective of clinical upper airway (UA) findings. We aimed to investigate whether drug-induced sedation endoscopy (DISE) changes treatment decision and outcome in otherwise healthy children and infants with OSA.

methodsRetrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on polysomnography, DISE, and treatment in surgically naïve, otherwise healthy infants (n = 34) and children (n = 75) with OSA. Treatment success is defined as post-treatment obstructive apnea/hypopnea index (oAHI) < 5 h-5

resultsBased upon UA findings during DISE, AT was performed in 22 infants and 57 children. oAHI improved from 16.5 h

conclusionsDISE performed in otherwise healthy and surgically naïve infants and children with OSA altered the therapeutic decision making in up to 1/3rd to 1/4th of the cases and resulted in comparable treatment outcomes as standard treatment by AT. The present data suggest that DISE may provide individually tailored treatment of OSA in otherwise healthy infants and children.
