Asthma and sleep disordered breathing in the pediatric adenotonsillectomy trial for snoring study.
Trial report in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02562040 (Impact of Treatment of Mild Sleep-Disordered Breathing on Children's Health), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
purposeAlthough asthma is common in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), it is unclear whether and to what extent asthma is associated with SDB-related outcomes. Our objectives are to describe risk factors for asthma among children with mild SDB (mSDB) and assess the association between asthma and the severity of sleep-related outcomes.
methodsCross-sectional analyses were conducted for children aged 3-12.9 years with mSDB enrolled in Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy for Snoring Children Study. Sleep-related outcomes included SDB symptoms (Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire-Sleep-Related Breathing Disorder scale (PSQ-SRBD)), SDB-specific quality of life (OSA-18), sleepiness (modified Epworth Sleepiness Score) and polysomnographic and actigraphic measures. Asthma was defined by caregiver-reported diagnosis with current asthma symptoms and medication use, or a Composite Asthma Severity Index (CASI) score ≥ 4. Asthma was further categorized into mild (CASI < 4) and moderate-to-severe (CASI ≥ 4). Regression analyses were conducted to identify asthma risk factors and estimate the associations between mild and moderate-to-severe asthma with sleep-related outcomes.
resultsThe sample included 425 children (20.3%-Black, 17.4%-Hispanic; 51.7%-female). The prevalence of asthma was 19.1% (7.1% moderate-to-severe, 12.0% mild). Environmental tobacco smoke exposure and markers of atopy were associated with asthma in multivariable-adjusted analyses. Moderate-to-severe asthma was associated with increased OSA symptoms measured by PSQ-SRBD (adjusted effect estimate for moderate-to-severe vs. no asthma (
conclusionModerate-to-severe asthma was associated with worse QoL and greater SDB symptoms among children with mSDB. The co-occurrence of common risk factors for mSDB and asthma and worse symptoms and quality of life in children with both conditions support coordinated strategies for prevention and co-management of both disorders.
