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
Objective: To characterize age-related differences in sleep measures among a cohort of pediatric patients referred for polysomnography (PSG) due to obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (oSDB). Methods: A retrospective review of 303 children aged 1-18 years referred for PSG due to oSDB was conducted. Patients were categorized into four age groups based on American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Demographic, clinical, and polysomnographic differences were analyzed using linear regression and chi-square techniques. Sleep parameters were further characterized using correlation analysis and multiple linear regression. A subset of 133 patients was analyzed post-tonsillectomy. Results: The study included 6.6% patients aged 13 months to 2 years, 50.5% aged 2-5 years, 22.1% aged 6-11 years, and 20.8% aged 12-18 years. Obesity prevalence increased significantly with age, peaking at 75.8% in the 12-18-year group ( Conclusion: Age-related differences in sleep parameters exist in children with oSDB and persist despite surgical intervention. These findings suggest that age and obesity continue to play crucial roles in sleep architecture, warranting further investigation. Level of Evidence: 3.
