Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children with Cerebral Palsy Compared to Non-Neurological Controls: A Prospective Study from a Tertiary Center in Jordan.

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/
objectivesOur aim was to evaluate sleep quality and the prevalence of OSA among children with CP and other neurological conditions using both polysomnography (PSG) and validated sleep questionnaires.
methodsThis study was conducted at the sleep laboratory of the Jordan University Hospital (JUH) between October 2023 and April 2025. Patients were consecutively recruited from pediatric neurology clinics. Patients completed a PSG session, while guardians/caregivers completed the pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ) and sleep disturbance scale for children (SDSC) tools on the behalf of the included patients. The cohort was matched with a control group composed of asthmatic children referred for sleep disturbances.
resultsWe recruited 296 patients, of whom 41.6% had neurological disorders and 58.4% were matched non-neurological controls. Among those with neurological diseases (n = 123), 46.3% were diagnosed with CP. Patients with CP showed significantly lower sleep efficacy than controls (
conclusionPatients with neurological diseases are at a higher risk of sleep disturbances compared to controls. This was significantly more apparent in non-CP patients than in those with CP. At present, PSG remains the most objective and reliable tool to evaluate these disturbances.
