Effects of multiple exposures to general anesthesia on the sleep quality of children after plastic surgery in Beijing, China: a cohort 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
To assess the effects of the number and duration of general anesthesia exposure on the sleep quality of 6-15-year-old school children who underwent plastic surgery. The study was conducted on 688 children who underwent plastic surgery between the ages of 6 and 15 years using the Sleep Disorder Scale for Children (SDSC). The children were divided into two groups according to their exposure to general anesthesia: No General Anesthesia (NGA) and General Anesthesia (GA) groups. The GA group was further divided into three subgroups according to the number of exposures: Single-exposure, Double-exposure, and Multiple-exposure groups. The GA group was also subdivided into two groups according to the cumulative total time of anesthesia exposure: < 3 h and ≥ 3 h groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to confirm the potential factors that affect children with sleep disturbance (SDSC scores > 39) after general anesthesia exposure. Linear regression was used to analyze the correlation of the factors with the SDSC scores. The SDSC scores were higher in the GA group [35.4 ± 4.3 vs. 34.0 ± 3.6,
