Correlates to Problem Behaviors in Pediatric Narcolepsy: A Pilot Study.

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
STUDY
objectiveExcessive daytime sleepiness, the hallmark of narcolepsy, predisposes patients to serious performance decrements in multiple areas of function. Psychosocial dysfunction has been demonstrated in adults and children with narcolepsy. Several factors could influence psychosocial functioning in children. The objective of this study was to examine neurobehavioral problems in children with narcolepsy and to define associations with these problem behaviors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was performed where the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was completed by guardians of children (age 18 years or younger) in whom narcolepsy with or without cataplexy was diagnosed (based on the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, Second Edition) between July 2008 and October 2014. Spearman correlations (continuous variables) and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests (categorical variables) were performed for the CBCL findings and narcolepsy factors previously shown to influence psychosocial functioning.
resultsThe participants' current age correlated significantly with multiple CBCL scales. Caregivers of younger participants reported higher total psychosocial problems and externalizing problems. In addition, caregivers of younger participants reported higher scores on indices measuring inattention, withdrawal, thought problems, aggression, and rule-breaking behaviors. Values of
conclusionsPatients with pediatric narcolepsy have high rates of attention and emotional/behavior problems. These problems strongly correlated with age. Younger children expressed higher emotional, behavioral, and attention problems. Sleep physicians need to be aware of and assess the mental and behavioral health of their pediatric patients with narcolepsy.
