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

purposeObstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) impairs children's quality of life (QoL), but the impact of air pollution and heat wave on pediatric OSA-related QoL remains unclear. This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated associations between short-term air pollutant (PM

methodsA retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Henan Provincial Children's Hospital (2021-2023). Eligible participants were ≤ 14-year-old Henan residents with confirmed OSA (OAHI > 1) via polysomnography. QoL was assessed by the OSA-18 Scale. Air pollutant and heat wave data were from national monitoring networks. Generalized Linear Regression Models (GLMs) analyzed continuous QoL outcomes, with sensitivity analyses performed.
