Analysis of the Risk Factors Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Chinese 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 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: The present study was developed to explore risk factors related to the incidence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children. Methods: The present study enrolled pediatric patients who admitted to our department for snoring and/or open-mouth breathing. All children completed a questionnaire and underwent physical examination and polysomnography (PSG). The cases were separated into OSAS and primary snoring (PS) groups. Factors associated with these two groups were analyzed, with risk factors significantly associated with OSAS then being identified through logistic regression analyses. OSAS was further subdivided into mild, moderate, and severe subgroups, with correlations between risk factors and OSAS severity then being analyzed. Results: In total, 1,550 children were included in the present study, of which 852 and 698 were enrolled in the OSAS and PS groups. In univariate analyses, obesity, family passive smoking, a family history of snoring, allergic rhinitis, asthma, adenoid hypertrophy, and tonsil hypertrophy were all related to pediatric OSAS ( Conclusion: Obesity, family passive smoking, a family history of snoring, allergic rhinitis, asthma, tonsil hypertrophy, and adenoid hypertrophy may be potential risk factors for pediatric OSAS. Adenoid hypertrophy and tonsil hypertrophy were independently related to the risk of pediatric OSAS, with OSAS incidence increasing with the size of the adenoid and tonsil, while the severity of OSAS is not parallel related to the adenoid or tonsil size.
