Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea-related risk factors: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Acta odontologica Scandinavica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study investigated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-related risk factors in children and adolescents. MATERIALS AND
methodsRecords of 187 subjects from a private medical clinic were reviewed. Overnight polysomnography recordings and self/parent reports were gathered. Descriptive analysis of sociodemographic, anthropometric, sleep quality and sleep architecture variables and OSA diagnosis were performed. Associations between independent variables and OSA diagnosis were assessed through multivariable logistic regression with robust variance, with a significance level of 5%. Results: 132 participants were diagnosed with OSA, and 55 were classified as "no OSA" (29.41%). Those overweight or obese were 4.97 times more likely to have OSA than those with normal weight (P = 0.005). Those who reported loud snoring were 2.78 times more likely to have OSA than those who reported mild or moderate snoring intensity. A one-unit increase in arousal index leads to 1.39 increase in the odds ratio (OR) of individuals diagnosed with OSA (P < 0.001), and each one-unit increase in sleep efficiency leads to 1.09 higher odds of not having OSA (P = 0.002).
conclusionsSignificantly increased OSA-related risk factors among overweight/obese children and adolescents and among those who had a parental/self-report of loud snoring were found.
