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
purposeUndetected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children increases the likelihood of perioperative respiratory complications. Current screening tools for OSA often lack sensitivity or are overly complex. This study aimed to develop and validate a simplified preoperative predictive model for moderate-to-severe pediatric OSA.
methodsThe study included children aged 1 to 18 years who underwent either polysomnography or nocturnal pulse oximetry from January 2013 to December 2020. OSA severity was categorized using these tests, and potential predictors were identified using multivariable logistic regression. The outcomes of the tests were used to create a risk-based scoring system. Internal validation was performed using bootstrapping procedures.
resultsOut of the 1,327 participants, 882 individuals (66.5%) were diagnosed with moderate-to-severe OSA. Predictors considered for developing the scoring system included Craniofacial abnormalities, adenotonsillar Hypertrophy, Age 1-5 years, Snoring > 5 nights/week, Excessive daytime sleepiness, Obesity, Stopping breathing, and Awakening during sleep (CHASE-OSA). The scoring system developed demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.83-0.88). The CHASE-OSA score, ranging from 0 to 14, classified scores < 6 as low-risk and ≥ 6 as high-risk for moderate-to-severe pediatric OSA. This cutoff demonstrated a sensitivity of 86%, specificity of 70%, and positive and negative predictive values of 85% and 71%, respectively.
conclusionThe CHASE-OSA predictive model provides a concise and user-friendly preoperative screening tool for identifying moderate-to-severe pediatric OSA. It facilitates risk assessment, enhances perioperative care optimization, and informs postoperative management planning. Further research is needed to comprehensively validate its clinical utility.
