Pediatric sleep questionnaire predicts more severe sleep apnea in children with uncontrolled asthma.

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
objectiveWhile up to 35% of children with asthma have evidence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB), it is unclear if nocturnal symptoms stem from asthma itself or SDB. The Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) is a validated tool for identifying SDB in childhood asthma. We hypothesize children with asthma and abnormal PSQ demonstrate decreased asthma control and are at higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
methodsWe performed a retrospective, chart review of children and young adults referred to our tertiary children's hospital severe asthma clinic. Data collection included age, gender, BMI percentile, spirometry, PSQ, asthma control questionnaires, asthma severity, control, and impairment. These data were evaluated in the context of polysomnography, when available.
results205 inner-city children were included; 37.2% female, median age 6.4 y, and mean BMI of 71.3%ile. Rhinitis (
conclusionsIn pediatric asthma, positive PSQ was associated with significantly decreased asthma control. Additionally, children with normal PSQ demonstrated mild OSA, while children with abnormal PSQ had increased severity of OSA. This demonstrates that PSQ can be used to screen children for more severe sleep apnea.
