The benefit of KidsO2 ring as a pre-screening device in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea.

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: Several consumer-grade Wearable Wireless Continuous Pulse Oximeters (WWCPO) have been developed both for comfort and offering reasonable cost and advanced oximetric data to help clinicians detect significant Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children. Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of various parameters from consumer-grade WWCPO (KidsO2 ring) compared to the gold-standard polysomnography (PSG). Study design: A cross-sectional study. Research tool: The Wellue KidsO2™ ring as hardware, and the Vi Health App as software. Methods: Children aged 3-10 years, meeting the eligibility criteria, underwent simultaneous measurement with both PSG and the KidsO2 ring. Data from both devices were collected and analyzed statistically. Results: Eighty-three patients were enrolled, of whom 37 were female (44.6 %), with a mean age of 5.6 ± 1.8 years and a mean BMI of 17.8 ± 4.1 kg/m Conclusion: The KidsO2 ring has shown benefits in evaluating children with suspected OSA. The use of oxygen trend graphs and ODI (Drops per hour) values from the KidsO2 ring effectively detected significant OSA, potentially expediting further investigations and treatment such as adenotonsillectomy.
