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
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate craniofacial skeletal morphology in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with different malocclusion types. Materials and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis study was conducted at Chengdu Second People's Hospital from 2023 to 2024. A total of 299 children diagnosed with OSAHS (aged 10-12 years) were included. Craniofacial structures were assessed using Jarabak and Ricketts methods. Patients were divided by malocclusion type: Class II ( Results: Significant differences were found between groups. Compared to Class II, Class III patients had lower ANB angle (-2.8 ± 2.6° vs. 5.6 ± 1.9°, Cohen's d = 1.23), Wits appraisal (-2.9 ± 3.7 mm vs. 2.6 ± 0.7 mm, Cohen's d = 2.02), SN:GoMe (103.1 ± 6.0% vs. 106.7 ± 9.0%, Cohen's d = 0.48), MP/FH (32.9 ± 2.99° vs. 37.3 ± 2.65°, Cohen's d = 1.57), Xi-Pm/DC-Xi (29.3 ± 2.1° vs. 24.6 ± 3.1°, Cohen's d = 1.81), and ANS-Xi-Pm (47.8 ± 2.9° vs. 50.7 ± 2.4°, Cohen's d = 1.11) (all Conclusion: Distinct craniofacial skeletal patterns exist in pediatric OSAHS patients with different malocclusions. Class III patients demonstrate mandibular growth restriction with compensatory protrusion, while Class II patients display high-angle, long-face morphology with clockwise growth rotation. These findings have important clinical implications for individualized orthodontic and surgical planning in the management of pediatric OSAHS, highlighting the need for early assessment of craniofacial structure in affected children.
