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

Objective: To investigate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on behavioral problems in children and the association between them. Methods: A simple random sampling method was used to select 100 children aged 4 to 12 years for the case group. All of them were diagnosed with OSA through overnight polysomnography at the Sleep Medicine Center, West China Fourth Hospital, Sichuan University between October 2022 and October 2023. An additional 100 children without snoring symptoms and clinically evaluated and confirmed as not having OSA were enrolled as the control group. General demographic data of the participants were collected. The Caregiver Report Form of the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was used for behavioral problem assessment, and polysomnography data were collected. The chi-square/ Results: No significant differences were observed in general demographic data between the case and control groups. The total score for behavioral problems and those for each dimension were higher in the case group than those in the control group, with the total score of the case group being 24.60 ± 1.55 and that of the control group being 8.85 ± 0.75 ( Conclusion: Children with OSA are prone to developing behavioral problems. OAHI is a risk factor for behavioral problems in children with OSA, with a potentially greater effect observed in girls.
