Surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
7 citing papers in PubMed, 2 syntheses or guidelines pooled it, 274 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
backgroundObstructive sleep apnoea is the periodic reduction (hypopnoea) or cessation (apnoea) of airflow during sleep. The syndrome is associated with loud snoring, disrupted sleep and observed apnoeas. Beside conservative treatments there are a range of 8 broad categories of operative treatments for this condition. Surgical treatments aim to relieve the obstruction by either increasing the surface area
objectivesSurgery for obstructive sleep apnoea aims to relieve the obstruction by increasing the surface area of the airway, bypassing the pharyngeal airways or removing a lesion. The objective of this review was to assess the effects of any type of surgery for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Airways Group trials register and reference lists of articles. We contacted experts in the field, research dissemination bodies and other Cochrane Review Groups. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised and quasi-randomised trials comparing any surgical intervention for obstructive sleep apnoea with other surgical or non-surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnoea or no intervention. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: No completed trials were identified. MAIN
resultsNo studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. REVIEWER'S
conclusionsThere is an urgent need for high quality randomised controlled trials to be carried out in the field of surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea. More research should also be undertaken to identify and standardise techniques to determine the site of airways obstructions.
