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

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of central apnea (CA) events and central sleep apnea (CSA) in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and to assess the effect of tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (TA) on CSA in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Results: Seven hundred twelve children with SDB (age range: 1 to 18 yrs, mean: 5.8 ± 3.4) were identified. CA events occurred in 640 of 712 (89.5%) patients. Of the 712 patients, 315 (44.2%) met the criteria for the diagnosis of CSA. CSA was more prevalent in toddlers and preschoolers ( Conclusion: Central apnea events and central sleep apnea occur in children who present to a pediatric otolaryngology clinic for evaluation of sleep disordered breathing. Central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea both improve after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
