Age-stratified sex differences in polysomnographic findings and pharyngeal morphology among children with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundChildhood obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has important implications for growth, learning, behavior, cognition and cardiovascular health as well as snoring and OSA in adulthood. In this study, we elucidated the sex differences in polysomnographic (PSG) findings and pharyngeal radiographic data in pediatric OSA patients.
methodsSixty three children (age between 3 and 15 years old) with OSA [defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥1/h by polysomnography] were enrolled. Lateral neck radiographs were obtained from the patients. All subjects were separated by age: pre-adolescent group (3-8 years old) and adolescent group (9-15 years old).
resultsOverall, 45 patients in the pre-adolescent group (33 boys and 12 girls) and 18 patients in the adolescent group (10 boys and 8 girls) were enrolled, and sex differences were compared in each group. We found sex differences in craniofacial features and severity of OSA in the adolescent group, in which girls with OSA had more upper airway space, in addition to lower AHI, lower 3% oxygen desaturation index (ODI), higher minimum SO
conclusionsThe present study found revealed sex differences in pediatric OSA patients in the adolescent group. Girls in the adolescent group had more upper airway space in addition to lower AHI, lower 3% ODI, higher minimum SO
