ArticleSleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung2013
Women with partial upper airway obstruction are not less sleepy than those with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeSleep-disordered breathing (SDB) differs between genders in terms of the type, signs, and symptoms of the disease. Partial upper airway obstruction is underdiagnosed and undertreated.
methodsIn this study, we retrospectively investigated respiratory sleep recordings of 601 women, ending up with 240 women for the final statistical analyses. We hypothesized that there are differences between the signs and symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing whether women had partial upper airway obstruction or obstructive sleep apnea.
resultsThe results showed no difference in sleepiness between women with partial upper airway obstruction or obstructive sleep apnea. Also, the other main symptoms of SDB were the same between the groups. Micrognathia was more common in women with partial upper airway obstruction than with obstructive sleep apnea.
conclusionThese results indicate that partial upper airway obstruction in women should be clinically recognized like obstructive sleep apnea.
