Incidental electrocardiogram abnormalities in children undergoing polysomnography.

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
STUDY
objectivesMonitoring electrocardiogram is an integral component of pediatric polysomnography (PSG). There are limited data regarding arrhythmia and conduction disturbances in the pediatric population undergoing a PSG. In this work we present abnormal electrocardiogram findings during PSG in our sleep center.
methodsA retrospective chart review from children who underwent PSG read by a single sleep medicine physician in the last year was carried out. Findings in children without cardiac disease and with first or second degree atrioventricular block were compared to those from children with premature ventricular contractions.
resultsA total of 1,235 PSGs were included. Twenty-four children (9 girls and 15 boys) aged 2-17 years (median 9 years) were identified with arrhythmias or conduction disturbances (1.9%). Nineteen out of 24 of these children (79.2%) had obstructive apnea-hypopnea index > 1 event/h; this frequency was not significantly different from that found in the whole group of 1,235 children. No statistically significant difference was found between children with atrioventricular block or premature ventricular contractions. Seven out of 9 children with atrioventricular block and 7 out of 10 with premature ventricular contractions had obstructive apnea-hypopnea index > 1 event/h, while 8 children with atrioventricular block out of 9 and 4 out of 10 with premature ventricular contractions were males (Fisher's exact test
conclusionsOur study supports that electrocardiogram abnormalities are rare in PSGs of children and not associated with cardiac disease or sleep disorders but appear more commonly in males.
