Long-term adherence to ambulatory initiated continuous positive airway pressure in non-syndromic OSA children.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
purposeIn children, the usual indications for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are residual OSA after adenotonsillectomy and/or persistent OSA due to obesity. Data concerning adherence (hours/night) following ambulatory CPAP initiation are scarce.
methodsAn observational cohort of 78 children was followed over 2 years. All exhibited sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) symptoms, were assessed by polysomnography, and prescribed CPAP. CPAP was initiated at hospital for 10 children.
resultsOSA children, mean age 10.4 ± 3.2 years, were mostly males (75.6%), with a mean body mass index of 21.2 ± 7.3 kg/m
conclusionIn our population, mean CPAP adherence defined in hours per night was high and did not decrease during the 24-month follow-up. These findings support the feasibility of ambulatory CPAP initiation in non-syndromic OSA. The high CPAP adherence is expected to be associated with improvements in neurocognition, and in metabolic and cardiovascular parameters.
