Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00560859 (A Randomized Controlled Study of Adenotonsillectomy for Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposeThe aim of this study was to determine if cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) calculated sleep quality (SQI) may predict changes in metabolic health in children treated with early adenotonsillectomy (eAT) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

methodsSecondary analysis of the Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Trial (CHAT) was performed including children 5.0-9.9 years with OSA assigned to eAT. The cohort was stratified based on SQI and AHI to evaluate (1) response to eAT in children with high sleep quality (SQI ≥ 75) and mild-OSA, AHI < 5.0 (group

resultsAt baseline group

conclusionThe results may indicate that children with mild-OSA and high-SQI may be less likely to benefit from eAT than children with moderate-OSA. To improve metabolic health, successfully treating both AHI and SQI is likely needed. CPC-calculated SQI may have a role to identify children less likely to benefit from eAT and to evaluate success of therapy.
