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

Infants with Robin sequence (RS) are at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but screening with poly(somno)graphy (P(S)G) is challenging. The aim of the study was to assess the relationships between different pulse oximetry (SpO

conclusionSpO WHAT IS KNOWN: • Infants with Robin sequence (RS) are at high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for OSA diagnosis, but may be challenging due to its limited access, and the fact that it is time consuming and requires an experienced team. Pulse oximetry (SpO2) represents a simpler alternative and is used in some centers to screen for OSA. However, no pathological thresholds have been validated. Moreover, the oxygen desaturation index (ODI), which is commonly used, was found to correlate only moderately with the mixed and obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (MOAHI). WHAT IS NEW: • We correlated different SpO2 parameters, such as the hypoxemic burden and the Δ12s index, to the MOAHI in infants with RS and compared the findings to infants with OSA associated to other comorbidities. It seems that infants with RS have a less severe OSA-related hypoxemic profile than infants with OSA-III. These findings question if different obstructive patterns exist according to the disorders.
