The Relationship between Nocturnal Enuresis and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the effect of adenotonsillectomy (AT) and the width of the arches, and to compare them with control children without respiratory problems.
methodsChildren from 2 to 12 years old were divided into three groups: children with OSA and NE (n = 51), children with OSA without NE (n = 79), and the control group (n = 168). NE was defined as at least one bedwetting incident per month. Arch widths were measured at the baseline and one year after. OSA was diagnosed by means of polysomnography, and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was obtained. Parents completed the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) to classify their children into those with and without NE.
resultsNE was present in 39.2% of children with OSA compared to 28% in the control group (
