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

Purpose: To explore the association between clinical indicators of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and large endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles (large endothelial EVs) in children, and to explore their potential association with disease severity. Patients and Methods: A total of 81 children with OSA were enrolled, including 29 cases of mild OSA and 52 cases of moderate-to-severe OSA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves evaluated the discriminatory ability of these EVs for severity groups. The correlation between large endothelial EVs and OSA clinical results, including sleep architecture and sleep-disordered breathing events, was evaluated using Spearman correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results: Levels of CD31+CD41- large endothelial EVs were significantly elevated in children with moderate-to-severe OSA compared to the mild OSA group ( Conclusion: CD31+CD41- large endothelial EVs were closely associated with OAHI and sleep efficiency. These exploratory findings suggest their potential as a biomarker of OSA severity, but prospective validation is required before clinical application.
