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

purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the changes in respiratory function and dimensions of the nasomaxillary complex (NMC) and upper airway (UA) compartments after nasomaxillary skeletal expansion (NMSE) treatment for pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

methodsNonobese OSA patients (mean age, 13.6 ± 2.9 years; mean body mass index, 18.1 ± 3.0 kg/m

resultsAmong 26 patients, NMSE treatment significantly increased NMC dimensions at all tested levels and all UA compartments in CBCT, except glossopharyngeal airway. Concurrently, AHI, oxygen desaturation index, the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO

conclusionNMSE can be a good treatment for pediatric OSA patients when applied to enhance the nasal and pharyngeal airway patencies beyond the NMC, ultimately to improve pharyngeal collapsibility as well as nasal airflow.
