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

objectivesThe first-line treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children is adenotonsillectomy, but this may result in perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs). The primary aim of this study is to examine whether the McGill oximetry score (MOS) and other polysomnography parameters can predict major PRAEs following adenotonsillectomy. We secondarily evaluated the MOS interrater reliability and correlation with other polysomnography parameters.

methodsThis retrospective study included all children aged 0-18 years who underwent preoperative polysomnography between June 2010 and January 2016 prior to adenotonsillectomy at a tertiary pediatric institution. Oximetries from polysomnograms were assigned an MOS. Univariable and multivariable models for prediction of major PRAEs were constructed. MOS was correlated with polysomnography parameters and interrater reliability was evaluated.

resultsThis study included 106 children; 15 had a major PRAE. A multivariable prediction model that combined MOS and age showed evidence for the ability to predict major PRAEs with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.68 (95% confidence interval: 0.52, 0.84), whereby increased MOS and younger age were associated with PRAEs, but apnea-hypopnea index was not. MOS had excellent interrater reliability (κ = 0.95) and was highly correlated with oxygen saturation nadir and cumulative time percentage with oxygen saturation less than 90%.

conclusionsA prediction model including MOS and age may predict PRAEs following adenotonsillectomy. This suggests that nocturnal oximetry provides the most essential information of polysomnography measures to direct postoperative monitoring following adenotonsillectomy.
