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

Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) consists of a range of symptoms that can negatively affect children's quality of life. Earlier diagnosis of SDB in children can result in the prevention of severe outcomes. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the craniofacial features and skeletal growth patterns of children with SDB. Materials and Method: This comparative case-control study was conducted on 150 patients aged 8 to 12 years who attended the orthodontic department. Based on the Berlin questionnaire, selected patients were divided into two groups of 25, including children with a high risk of SDB (SDB group) and those without the risk (control group). Craniofacial analysis of all patients was carried out on their lateral cephalometric radiographs. Cephalometric sagittal and vertical parameters were compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U test with effect sizes reported. Data normality was assessed to justify statistical methods. Results: Vertical parameters, including FMA ( Conclusion: In this study, considerable differences were observed in the craniofacial features of children with SDB, particularly in the vertical dimension.
