Comparison of home ambulatory type 2 polysomnography with a portable monitoring device and in-laboratory type 1 polysomnography for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea in children.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo compare type 2 polysomnography (T2PSG) to the gold standard type 1 in-laboratory polysomnography (T1PSG) for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children; validate home T2PSG in children with suspected OSA.
methodsEighty-one participants (ages 6-18) with suspected OSA had simultaneous T1PSG and T2PSG in the sleep laboratory, 47 participants (ages 5-16) had T1PSG in the sleep laboratory and T2PSG performed at home. Sleep scientists staged and scored polysomnography data, and pediatric sleep physicians assigned a diagnosis of normal or OSA. Participant demographics, polysomnography variables, and diagnoses were compared using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests for nominal variables,
resultsAcceptable recordings were obtained for every home T2PSG. When T1PSG and T2PSG were simultaneous, correlation between the number of arousals, respiratory disturbance index, and sleep stages was excellent. T2PSG at home demonstrated less stage 2 sleep, more rapid eye movement sleep, and higher sleep efficiency. Comparison of home T2PSG to T1PSG for diagnosing OSA showed a false-positive rate of 6.6% and false-negative rate of 3% for those performed at home.
conclusionsT2PSG in the home is feasible with excellent concordance with T1PSG for the purposes of diagnosing OSA in children aged 5-18 years. Home T2PSG may be more representative of a "normal" night for children and could benefit those suspected of having OSA by reducing waiting times for laboratory PSG, improving access to PSG and possibly reducing costs of investigating and treating OSA.
