Upper airway visualization in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea.
Review in Paediatric respiratory reviews, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition that may lead to a variety of comorbidities in adolescence and adulthood. The gold standard of diagnosing OSA is polysomnography (PSG). Over the past fifteen years numerous publications have explored how to better visualize the upper airway to further assess OSA in the pediatric population, and eventually institute personalized treatment. Lateral neck radiograph, cephalometry, computed axial tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are all unique imaging techniques that are used in the diagnosis of OSA. Drug Induced Sleep Endoscopy is a direct visualization technique that is gathering momentum in pediatrics. Each approach has respective benefits and weaknesses. However, none of them at this time can replace PSG. They are a helpful supplement in those patients with complicated upper airway anatomy and in those with residual OSA.
