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

Background We investigated the effects of high risk of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) on school performance in children aged six to 18 years in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia. Methodology In this cross-sectional study, data were collected using an online questionnaire, which included questions on sociodemographic details, pediatric sleep questionnaire-sleep-related breathing disorder (PSQ-SRBD) scale, and academic performance metrics. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the associations between high risk of OSDB and academic achievements. Results The study sample comprised 145 (52%) males and 176 (48%) females, with a significant prevalence of OSDB (31.58%). The results indicated a negative correlation between PSQ-SRBD scores and academic grades, with correlation values ranging from -0.28 to -0.369 (p < 0.001). Children with high risk of OSDB were more likely to have lower academic grades, with significant differences in the academic grades between children with and without OSDB. The prevalence of high risk of OSDB was higher in males (63.4% vs. 45.5%; p < 0.001). Conclusions OSDB significantly affects the academic performance in children, with a higher incidence in males. A strong correlation was observed between high risk of OSDB severity and lower academic achievement. These findings emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing the high risk of OSDB in children to improve their educational outcomes.
