Association of Sleep-disordered Breathing with Oral Health-related Quality of Life in 6-12-year-old Children: A Cross-sectional Study.

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-disordered breathing (SDB) in children and its role in oral health has received renewed interest; however, its impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children requires further research. Aim: To assess the association of SDB and OHRQoL in 6-12-year-old children and the effect of modifiers such as age, gender, caries status, developing malocclusion, and oral hygiene status. Design: A total of 150 children aged 6-12 years old were assessed for SDB, using the pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ), a 31-item questionnaire, and OHRQoL using the child oral health impact profile (COHIP), a 34-item questionnaire. Oral examination was performed to record the caries status and OHI-S score. Developing malocclusion was assessed using Angle's class and the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). Intergroup comparison of COHIP scores in children with SDB and those without was assessed using a Results: The prevalence of SDB was 30.86%. The COHIP score in children with SDB was 92.60 ± 12.958, and 111.29 ± 12.933 in children without SDB. SDB was positively correlated with age, caries score, and OHI-S score and was negatively correlated with COHIP score. Conclusion: SDB has a moderate negative correlation with COHIP scores, implying that OHRQoL was lower in children with SDB. How to cite this article: Sharma SA, Katre AN, Subhadra HN.
