The High Prevalence of Continuous Paradoxical Breathing During Sleep in Children With Obesity and Its Relationship With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
objectiveThe clinical significance of continuous paradoxical breathing (CPB) during sleep in patients with obesity, and its relationship to upper airway obstruction versus altered chest wall mechanics is not well-studied. We evaluated the prevalence of CPB and its relationship to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), BMI, sleep position, sleep stage, O
resultsA total of 196 children (125 males and 71 females) were included. The mean (SD) age was 12.8 (3.4) years. Median (interquartile range (IQR)) BMI was 39 (32.5-46.2) kg/m
conclusionCPB is highly prevalent in symptomatic obese children and is likely related to chest wall mechanics and not related to OSA.
