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
STUDY
objectivesSleep laboratory polysomnography is the gold standard for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis in infants, but its access remains limited. Oximetry-capnography is another simple and widely used tool that can provide information on the presence of desaturations and alveolar hypoventilation. However, its reliability is debated. This study aimed at examining its use in determining OSA severity in infants.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted in a sleep unit in a tertiary hospital in infants < 4 months old with clinical signs of OSA or Pierre Robin sequence who underwent a 1-night polysomnography coupled with oximetry-capnography.
resultsAmong the 78 infants included (median [interquartile range] age: 61 [45-89] days at polysomnography), 44 presented with Pierre Robin sequence and 34 presented with isolated airway obstruction. The clinical, sleep, and respiratory characteristics were not significantly different between the 2 subgroups. In the entire cohort, 63.5% had severe OSA. The median obstructive apnea-hypopnea index was 14.5 (7.4-5.9) events/h, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
conclusionsWhereas transcutaneous capnography does not appear to be sufficient in predicting severe OSA in infants < 4 months old with Pierre Robin sequence or clinical signs of OSA, oximetry may be a useful alternative for the screening of severe OSA in infants in the absence of polysomnography.
