Allergic rhinitis as a predictor of moderate-to-severe paediatric obstructive sleep apnoea.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder affecting children. This study aims to characterize factors associated with the development and progression of severe forms of paediatric OSA.
methodsThis study included children admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, a tertiary children's hospital in southwest China between January 2020 and December 2020 with a discharge diagnosis of OSA. Each patient underwent polysomnography examination, following assessments of apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO
resultsA total of 263 children were identified during the study period. Among patients presenting with OSA, 51.3% had mild and 48.7% had moderate to severe symptoms according to standardized guidelines. The incidence of mild and moderate to severe hypoxemia in our population was 39.2% and 60.8%, respectively. Allergic rhinitis (AR; adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.75, 95% CI 1.03-2.96) and male gender (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI 1.03-3.06) were significantly associated with moderate-to-severe OSA (all P-values < 0.05) after adjustment for covariates. AR was also the only significant predictor of hypoxemia (P < 0.05).
conclusionOur results suggest that male gender and presence of AR may be associated with an increased likelihood of moderate-to-severe OSA in children. These findings underscore the importance of timely intervention and individualized management for at-risk individuals.
