Obstructive Sleep Apnea Effects on Pulmonary and Respiratory Muscle Function of Obese Children and Adolescents: A Preliminary Study.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveObstructive sleep apnea causes a marked decrease in lung volume and increases lung elasticity in obese adults. However, pulmonary and respiratory muscle function of obese children with obstructive sleep apnea who are more prone to develop airway obstruction than adults is less understood. This study aimed to determine the effects of obstructive sleep apnea on pulmonary and respiratory muscle function in obese children and adolescents compared to those without obstructive sleep apnea. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 12 obese children and adolescents with a known polysomnographic diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea and 12 controls that were matched for age, gender, and body mass index. Pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory pressure, maximum voluntary ventilation, and anthropometric variables were measured. RESULTS Obese children and adolescents with obstructive sleep apnea exhibited significantly lower maximal mid-expiratory flow and displayed a forced expiratory flow at 50% and 75% of vital capacity (all P < .05) compared to the control group. However, there were no changes in other pulmonary function variables (all P > .05). Their maximal inspiratory pressure and maximum voluntary ventilation were lower than those of the controls, but this was not statistically significant (all P > .05).
conclusionObstructive sleep apnea did not change pulmonary and respiratory muscle function in obese children and adolescents. The special assessment should be warranted to identify a reduction in maximal mid-expiratory flow and forced expiratory flow at 50% and 75% of vital capacity observed in this population.
