Home Respiratory Polygraphy is Useful in the Diagnosis of Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The utility of home respiratory polygraphy (HRP) was assessed as an alternative to polysomnography (PSG) in the diagnosis of childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). PSG was indicated only in patients with concomitant disease or where HRP results were questionable. The follow-up period was 1 year. We recorded clinical and anthropometric data, physical examination findings, respiratory variables, severity level and choice of therapy. We assessed 121 children, 70 boys and 51 girls, with mean age 7 ± 4 years, mean body mass index (BMI) 19 ± 5 kg/m
