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.

2 · The registry

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

Nocturnal pulse oximetry (NOx) is an alternative diagnostic test for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in childhood yet with variable diagnostic performance. Our aim was to apply advanced signal analysis to develop novel and more accurate NOx indices. We studied 45 children aged 3-10 years who underwent adenotonsillectomy for adenotonsillar hypertrophy and OSAS symptoms. Participants performed NOx before and three months after surgery, and the changes in McGill oximetry score (MOS), oxygen desaturation ≥3% index (ODI3), and the novel parameters-cumulative saturation area (CSA) and oxygen saturation sample entropy (SSE)-were assessed. There was a significant improvement (
