Sanjad Sakati syndrome and sleep-disordered breathing: an undisclosed association.

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
backgroundSanjad Sakati syndrome (SSS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutation in TBCE (tubulin folding cofactor E) gene. Reported cases were almost exclusively of Middle-Eastern and Arabian children of consanguineous parents. We report the clinical manifestations, outcome, and an observed new association of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) among children with Sanjad Sakati syndrome.
methodsClinical and routine laboratory data of SSS cases attending Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Oman, were collected from the electronic patient records or through direct clinic interviews. In-lab polysomnography (PSG) and echocardiography were carried out for all the cases. SDB diagnosis was based on the guidelines of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
resultsOf 12 patients with SSS, 5 males (42%), all of them (100%) had obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and 4 of them (33%) had additional significant central apnea and sleep-related hypoventilation. Eight patients (67%) had severe SDB with mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 26.5 events/h. Age at time of diagnosis with SDB ranged from 2 to 17 years with mean of 8.9 [Formula: see text] Two patients had severe pulmonary hypertension as a complication of severe SDB and died from type 2 respiratory failure.
conclusionsSleep-disordered breathing is prevalent among children with SSS, especially OSA. This is the first study to report SDB in a large cohort of patients with this extremely rare syndrome. The study results encourage the importance of screening affected patients with SSS for sleep-disordered breathing early before developing severe morbidities such as pulmonary hypertension that further compromise their quality of life.
