Telehealth-supported level 2 pediatric home polysomnography.
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 11 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
STUDY
objectivesThe gold standard for diagnosis of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is level 1 polysomnography (PSG). At our centre, some children are selected for unattended level 2 home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) with telehealth support, and we sought to review this home service.
methodsA retrospective audit was conducted from 2013 to 2020. All level 2 HSAT reports in children aged 5-18 years referred for suspected OSA were analyzed. American Academy of Sleep Medicine-compliant portable PSG acquisition equipment with electroencephalogram was used. The primary outcome was the proportion of technically successful tests achieved, and of these, the percentage with potential underestimation of diagnostic category. Secondary outcomes included sleep quality and parental acceptance by nonvalidated service-specific questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. χ
resultsThere were 233 (139 male, 59.6%) patients studied between 2013 and 2020 (7 years). The mean age was 10.8 (standard deviation 3.6) years. Sixty-seven patients (28.8%) had comorbidities. Technically successful studies were obtained in almost 90% (209/233) and failed studies occurred in just over 10% (24/233). One failed study still achieved a diagnosis. There was no significant difference between failed studies set up by hospital-in-the-home nurses compared with sleep scientists (
conclusionsTelehealth-supported pediatric HSAT achieves technical success in almost 90% of patients investigated for OSA, with 89.5% achieving ≥ 6 hours sleep duration and excellent family acceptability.
