Sleep-disordered breathing is common among term and near term infants in the NICU.
Article in Pediatric pulmonology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveAmong older infants and children, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has negative neurocognitive consequences. We evaluated the frequency and potential impact of SDB among newborns who require intensive care. STUDY
designTerm and near-term newborns at risk for seizures underwent 12-h attended polysomnography in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Bayley Scales of Infant Development, third edition (Bayley-III) were administered at 18-22 months.
resultThe 48 newborns (EGA 39.3 ± 1.6) had a median pediatric apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 10.1 (3.3-18.5) and most events were central (vs obstructive). Maternal and prenatal factors were not associated with AHI. Moreover, neonatal PSG results were not associated with Bayley-III scores (P > 0.05).
conclusionSDB is common among term and near-term newborns at risk for seizures. Follow-up at ages when more nuanced testing can be performed may be necessary to establish whether neonatal SDB is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental disability.
