Prevalence and Risk Factors for Rapid Eye Movement-Related Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objectives: Different pathophysiological mechanisms and the distribution of respiratory events among rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep modulate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to study the prevalence and risk factors for REM-related OSA in children. Study Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional study. Methods: We recruited 366 children with OSA confirmed by polysomnography (PSG) over a 5-year period. REM-related OSA is defined by an obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI) in the REM sleep ≥2× than during NREM sleep. Results: The prevalence of REM-related OSA in children was 50.3%. Children with REM-related OSA were more likely to be female ( Conclusion: The prevalence of REM-related OSA was 50.3%. OAHI
