Higher prevalence of short stature and excess weight in children with sleep disorders.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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 disorders are common in childhood and are recognized as a significant public health concern, particularly due to their association with childhood obesity. However, their impact on growth disturbances has been only minimally explored. In the present study, we investigate the association between sleep disorders and linear growth and excess weight in children. Study Design: Data were collected retrospectively (January 2012-December 2022) from computerized medical records of 3,210 patients (newborn-18 years) diagnosed with sleep disorders who underwent sleep analysis at the Sleep Clinic of Carmel Medical Center. A control group (n =12,840), matched for age and ethnic background, was selected from the same healthcare database. Additionally, subgroup analyses were performed by sex and across three age groups. Results: A higher rate of short stature, defined as height at or below the 3rd percentile, was observed in the study group compared to controls (8.66%
