Overweight/Obese Status Synergistically Worsens Nocturnal Time-to-Time Blood Pressure in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

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: To investigate the influence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and weight on blood pressure (BP) during nighttime sleep in children. Methods: Habitually snoring children who were 3-14 years old and from Beijing Children's Hospital between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2020 were recruited. All participants completed polysomnography (PSG) and BP monitoring during different sleep stages using pulse transit time analysis. Subjects were divided into three groups based on the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI), ie, primary snoring (PS), mild-to-moderate OSA, and severe OSA group. Results: Totally, 284 habitually snoring children were enrolled, including 85 with PS, 152 with mild-to-moderate OSA, and 47 with severe OSA. The differences of age and sex ratio among groups were not statistically significant (all Conclusion: The influence of OSA on both systolic and diastolic pediatric BP differs between children with normal weight and overweight/obese status. Overweight/obese status synergistically worsens nocturnal blood pressure in children with OSA. Early diagnosis and risk stratification are more important in overweight/obese children with OSA to achieve timely initiation of treatment.
