1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: To investigate parent-child agreement on fatigue reporting in pediatric otolaryngology patients and whether agreement might vary by diagnosis and other patient factors. Study Design: Cross-sectional survey. Methods: Patients ages 5-18 years old being evaluated for hearing loss (HL) or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were recruited from a pediatric otolaryngology clinic and sleep center. Children and parents completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL MFS). Results: Responses of 42 patients with HL, 49 with OSA, 10 with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and 34 controls were analyzed. Parent and child PedsQL MFS scores were strongly correlated (Pearson Conclusion: Overall, the parent-proxy PedsQL MFS demonstrates strong agreement with self-reports for pediatric otolaryngology patients being evaluated for HL and OSA. However, parent-child score discrepancies within specific patient groups, especially children whose parents reported speech/developmental/language delays, emphasize the importance of administering self-reports when possible. Level of Evidence: 3.
