Impaired Attention in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Preliminary Study of Behavior Combined with Neuroelectrophysiology.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate how attention is affected in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using the attention network test (ANT) combined with event-related potential (ERP) and time-frequency analysis. Methods: Eighty-seven children aged 6-11 years with symptoms of snoring or mouth breathing during sleep were recruited from the Sleep Center of Beijing Children's Hospital from May to July, 2023. All participants completed the Mini-mental State Examination and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder rating scale. We acquired 32-lead electroencephalography (EEG) data while participants performed the ANT, followed by Polysomnography. Results: Of the 87 children, 21 had no OSA, 49 had mild OSA, and 17 had moderate to severe (MS) OSA. Each group had similar questionnaire scores, similar response time and accuracy for the different ANT conditions. There are alterations in the processing of three separate components of the attentional network in children with OSA. The amplitude of the N3 component at the F Conclusion: Attention impairment was observed as a reduced N3 in the frontal area in the MS OSA group, which was correlated with the OAHI. However, questionnaire and behavioral performance did not differ significantly between groups. These findings suggest that the N3 amplitude is a sensitive neuroelectrophysiological marker of OSA-related cognitive impairment.
