1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThere is a well-established association between headache disorders and sleep disturbances in children, but it is unknown whether sleep disturbance plays a role in pediatric intracranial hypertension. The objective of this study was to examine sleep issues related to pediatric intracranial hypertension.

methodsPatients with intracranial hypertension in the Pediatric Intracranial Hypertension Clinic were recruited between July 2017 and September 2018. Demographic data were collected from the electronic medical record in addition to patient and parent completed questionnaires. Information on sleep behaviors was gathered using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, and control data were obtained from patient siblings. Statistical analyses were performed using paired t tests or two-sample t tests, as appropriate.

resultsSixty-two pairs of patients and matched sibling controls were compared. We found a statistically significant difference in total sleep disturbance score (control mean, 44.3; patient mean, 48.1; n = 33 pairs, t = -2.2, P = .035), as well as subscale scores of sleep onset delay (control mean, 1.4; patient mean, 1.7; n = 52 pairs, t = -2.53, P = .014), parasomnias (control mean, 8.5; patient mean, 9.5; n = 42 pairs, t = -2.59, P = .013), and sleep-disordered breathing (control mean, 3.1; patient mean, 3.4; n = 44 pairs, t = -2.61, P = .013). No difference was found in bedtime resistance, sleep duration, sleep anxiety, night awakenings, and daytime sleepiness subscales. Furthermore, no difference was found in total sleep disturbance score between patient subsets, including primary vs secondary intracranial hypertension, body mass index, pubertal status, presence of headaches, or intracranial hypertension treatment.

conclusionsThis observational study suggests that pediatric intracranial hypertension is associated with a modest increase in sleep disturbances.
