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

purposeInvestigate the effect of adenotonsillectomy on mixed apnea index (MAI) and central apnea index (CAI) in children with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

methodsObservational retrospective analysis of polysomnographic data in children diagnosed with moderate-to-severe OSAS and without comorbidity, submitted to adenotonsillectomy.

resultsData were available for 80 children, 55 boys and 25 girls, with a median age of 3.6 years (2.1-5.9). Before surgery AHI was 14.1 (11.0-18.4) per hour, with a median preoperative OAI of 7.1 (4.1-10.6), MAI of 1.2 (0.6-1.6) and CAI of 1.0 (0.4-2.0). Adenotonsillectomy caused significant improvements in MAI, from 1.2 (0.6-1.6) to 0.5 (0.1-0.8) (p < 0.001) and CAI from 1.0 (0.4-2.0) to 0.5 (0.1-0.9) (p < 0.001). This represents a normalization of MAI in 91.7% and CAI in 75.6% of children that had an abnormal value prior surgery.

conclusionNon obstructive apneas are common in children with OSAS. Adenotonsillectomy caused significant decrease not only in OAI, but also in MAI and CAI in children with moderate-to-severe OSAS.
