Subtypes of obstructive sleep apnea in children and related factors.
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 13 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
objectivesTo investigate the prevalence of positional obstructive sleep apnea (P-OSA) and rapid eye movement-related OSA (REM-OSA) in children with OSA and identify related factors.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study among children aged 2-12 years diagnosed with OSA using overnight polysomnography (PSG) between August 1, 2020, and July 31, 2021. Demographics, anthropometrics, PSG, and OSA-18 questionnaire data were recorded.
resultsData from a total of 474 children were available for analysis. Children had a median age of 4.8 (4.1, 6.4) years, 66.7% were male, and 23.2% were obese. The prevalence of P-OSA was 38.2% and that of REM-OSA was 43.0%. P-OSA was correlated with age and obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI; odds ratio [OR] = 1.172, 0.947;
conclusionsThe prevalence of P-OSA was 38.2% and that of REM-OSA was 43.0% in children with OSA. Age was correlated with both the prevalence of P-OSA and REM-OSA, with an increasing and decreasing prevalence as children grew older, respectively. The severity of OSA was significantly associated with the prevalence of both P-OSA and REM-OSA. Adenoid and tonsil size were correlated with the prevalence of REM-OSA but not P-OSA. Obesity and sex were not associated with the prevalence of P-OSA or REM-OSA. CITATION: Wu Y, Zheng L, Cui G, Xu Z, Ni X. Subtypes of obstructive sleep apnea in children and related factors.
