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

STUDY

objectivesIndividuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) frequently develop sleep-disordered breathing. Noninvasive ventilation is often prescribed for sleep-disordered breathing treatment based on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) criteria. In 2018, DMD disease-specific criteria for sleep-disordered breathing were established. Our study aimed to examine the clinical interpretation differences using these different criteria.

methodsWe performed a multicenter, retrospective chart review of children with DMD followed at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, and Rady Children's Hospital, San Diego, California, who underwent polysomnography from August 1, 2012, to February 29, 2020. Baseline characteristics and polysomnography data were summarized using descriptive statistics. Agreement for the diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing evaluated by kappa statistics and sensitivity/specificity analysis was assessed.

resultsOne hundred five male children with DMD (mean ± SD age: 12.1 ± 3.8 years; body mass index

conclusionsThere were more children with DMD diagnosed with nocturnal hypoventilation and prescribed noninvasive ventilation using DMD criteria compared with AASM criteria. Future studies should address whether the prescription of noninvasive ventilation for children with DMD based on both criteria is associated with different clinical outcomes.
