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

backgroundSleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome are two diseases of relevant clinical and research interest, especially in the pediatric field. However, there are gaps in knowledge regarding these diseases.

methodsWe performed a survey that was administered electronically, via the SurveyMonkey platform, to 15,000 Italian anesthesiologists registered on the SIAARTI mailing list for a period of 4 months (April-July 2021).

resultsA total of 223 anesthesiologists completed the questionnaire (1.48%), 143 female and 79 male. Pediatric anesthetists generally responded more correctly than the general anesthesiology population.

conclusionThe topic of pediatric OSA is a topic on which to invest in training of anesthesiologists, and the OSAKA-PedAn questionnaire is a valid tool to test the level of basic competence and that achieved.
