Association of Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Developing Malocclusion in Children: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Background Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) in children and its role in health has received renewed interest in the recent past. Malocclusion is one of the most common multifactorial craniofacial disturbances widely prevalent in children. The primary objective of this study was to assess the association of SDB with developing malocclusion in six to 12-year-old children and the effect of modifiers like age, gender, and tonsillar enlargement. Materials and method One hundred and seventy-seven children aged six to 12 years were assessed for developing malocclusion using Angle classification and Index of Orthodontic Treatment Needs (IOTN) comprising of 5 grades. Their parents were administered a pre-validated Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) for assessing SDB, by a single, calibrated examiner. The primary outcomes were SDB score, Angle class of malocclusion, and IOTN grade, assessed as categorical variables. The modifying variables assessed were age, gender, and tonsillar enlargement (Brodsky's criteria). The data were subject to statistical analysis using Fischer's test and the odds ratio (OR) was estimated. The modifiers were assessed using logistic regression. Results The prevalence of SDB was 69%. SDB has significantly associated with angle class II and class III malocclusion (
