Changes in platelet count and coagulation parameters in children with obstructive sleep apnea.

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
objectiveTo investigate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and coagulation status and to speculate on the underlying mechanism in children with OSA.
methodsWe divided 345 children with OSA (age 2-14 years) into four groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). We compared platelet (PLT) and coagulation parameters among groups. Correlations between the polysomnography parameters and coagulation parameters were investigated.
resultsChildren with OSA had higher PLT counts than those without OSA (P < 0.001), while no significant difference was observed in prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, or fibrinogen among children with/without OSA. In linear regression analysis, the AHI and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) presented positive correlation with the PLT count (R
conclusionsChildren with OSA have a higher PLT count, positively correlated with OSA severity, and no evidence of coagulation disorder.
