[Undiagnosed sleep disorders in children from a hospital in Puebla, Mexico].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 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
Background: Sleep-related problems are rarely discussed during the healthy children consultation. Up to 50% of children experience a sleep problem and 4% have an adequate diagnosis. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers the prevalence of sleep disorders to be 20-30%. These disorders can be triggered by multiple etiologies: from organic to behavioral and environmental disorders. Objective: To identify the frequency and clinical characteristics of sleep disorders in children in a second-level hospital in Mexico. Material and methods: Observational, and prospective study. The extended Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) was administered to ambulatory pediatric patients aged 2 to 17 years. Those with a psychiatric diagnosis or known sleep disorder were excluded. Those who did not complete 33% of affirmative answers of the PSQ were eliminated. They were interviewed to corroborate sleep disorders. Descriptive statistics were used in tables and graphs for frequencies. Results: 334 patients were included, and 82 corroborated the diagnosis. The most frequent disorders were periodic leg movements (36 patients, 44%), somniloquy (24, 29%), nocturnal awakenings (20, 24%), bruxism (18, 22%), nightmares (16, 19%), sleepwalking (15, 18%) and enuresis (14, 17%). Conclusions: In this study we found a high presence of unidentified sleep disorders in the pediatric outpatient clinic, even higher than the one reported in similar studies.
