The Boston Children's Hospital Sleep Corpus: A Collection of 15,695 Annotated Pediatric Polysomnograms.
Article in Sleep, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Sleep is a fundamental biological process essential to health, particularly during early life when sleep patterns are developing and sleep disorders are common. Yet pediatric sleep research is hindered by a lack of large-scale, high-quality polysomnography (PSG) datasets. To address this need, we introduce the Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) Sleep Corpus-the largest pediatric PSG dataset available-comprising 15 695 overnight recordings from 12 640 unique patients (median age ~ 6 years). The dataset includes 16.7 million annotated sleep stages, 2.25 million respiratory, arousal, and limb movement events, and over 11 000 patient diagnoses linked through de-identified electronic health records. Each PSG has a median duration of 8.9 hours, totaling 139 208 hours of EEG data. Sleep staging follows American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines and reveals age-related trends: REM sleep decreases from 33.5% in neonates to 16.3% in teenagers, while N2 sleep increases from 21.7% to 35.4%. Central apneas decline with age, while obstructive hypopneas and respiratory effort related arousals events rise. Limb movements are not scored in <1 yr but remain at around 30 per PSG across older age groups. We also present age- and region-specific EEG spectral norms and respiratory event trends across the pediatric age range. The dataset is organized in Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) format and publicly available via the Brain Data Science Platform. The dataset provides a valuable resource for improving our scientific understanding of pediatric sleep and developing automated PSG analysis with artificial intelligence tools.
