The role of craniofacial maldevelopment in the modern OSA epidemic: a scoping review.
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 2 papers.
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
objectivesThere is increasing recognition that environmental factors affect human craniofacial development and our risk for disease. A scoping review of the literature was performed looking at environmental influences on craniofacial development to better understand this relationship and investigate what further study is needed to determine how this relationship may impact obstructive sleep apnea.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was performed using the Ovid Medline database from inception to May 2020 with relevance to craniofacial development in 5 clinically oriented variables: diet, secular change, breastfeeding/nonnutritive sucking habits, nasal obstruction/mouth breathing, and masticatory muscle function. The Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Levels of Evidence was used to assess studies based on study design.
resultsWe initially identified 18,196 articles, of which 260 studies were fully reviewed and 97 articles excluded. The remaining 163 articles were categorized as follows: secular change (n = 16), diet (n = 33), breastfeeding/nonnutritive sucking habits (n = 28), nasal obstruction/mouth breathing (n = 57), and masticatory muscle function (n = 35). Ninety-three percent of included studies reported a significant association between craniofacial morphology and environmental factors. The majority of studies were characterized as low-level-of-evidence studies, with 90% of studies being a level-of-evidence of 4 or 5.
conclusionsThe studies in this review suggest that environmental factors are associated with changes in craniofacial development. However, most studies were heterogeneous and low-level studies, making strong conclusions about these relationships difficult. Future rigorous studies are needed to further our understanding of environmental influences on craniofacial development and obstructive sleep apnea risk.
