Asymptomatic sleep-disordered breathing in premenopausal women awaiting bariatric surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundThere is a strong association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and obesity. However, there are no studies addressed to determining the prevalence of SDB in morbidly obese premenopausal women, the most frequent group of patients requiring bariatric surgery. To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) in morbidly obese pre-menopausal women included in a program of bariatric surgery.
methodsA total of 88 consecutive morbidly obese pre-menopausal women (38.3 +/- 8.1 years, body mass index (BMI) 48.0 +/- 6.7 kg/m(2)) being evaluated for bariatric surgery at the outpatient obesity unit of a university hospital were prospectively recruited. SDB examinations included a non-attended respiratory polygraphy, pulmonary function testing, and an awake arterial gasometry. SAHS was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >or=10 events per hour and patients were divided in non-SAHS (AHI <10), mild (AHI: 10-20), moderate (AHI: 21-30), and severe (AHI >30). OHS was defined as the presence of hypercapnia (PaCO(2) > 45). Somnolence was evaluated using the Epworth sleepiness scale.
resultsA total of 66 (75.0%) obese patients had SAHS: 25 (28.4%) mild, 14 (15.9%) moderate, and 27 (30.6%) severe. Seven (7.9%) obese patients presented OHS. Excessive daily somnolence was recorded in only 11 (16.6%) of the obese women with SAHS. In multiple regression analysis, BMI was the only variable independently associated with SAHS severity.
conclusionsDue to its high prevalence and severity, it should be recommended to investigate SDB in all morbidly obese pre-menopausal women awaiting bariatric surgery even in the absence of excessive daytime sleepiness.
