Drug-induced sleep endoscopy effect on intraoperative decision making in pediatric sleep surgery: A 2-year follow up.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: To further demonstrate sleep endoscopy's utility in improving surgical outcomes for pediatric OSA. Methods: This is a retrospective review of surgically naïve patients <18 years old with diagnosed moderate-severe OSA who underwent DISE at the time of initial sleep surgery. Patients included in final analysis had both preoperative and postoperative polysomnograms. Surgical success was defined as an oAHI decrease by at least one diagnostic category. Residual OSA was defined as any patient with postoperative oAHI >1. Results: A total of 106 patients had preoperative and postoperative polysomnograms. Patients with comorbidities comprised 53.8% of the group. Average BMI% was 88.2, with 75.5% classified as obese. The most common area of collapse was the base of tongue, occurring in 32.1% of patients. There was a statistically significant decrease from the mean preoperative oAHI of 29.7 to the mean postoperative oAHI of 6.6 ( Conclusion: This study supports the utilization of DISE during initial surgery for severe sleep apnea in the pediatric population. It was found to effectively aid in significantly reducing surgically naïve patients' mean oAHI. Level of Evidence: Level III.
