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

purposeRecent evidences suggest that inflammation is involved in the mechanism of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Nesfatin-1, recently identified as the satiety regulator, is implicated to possess an anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of our study is to investigate whether serum levels of nesfatin-1 are associated with the presence and severity of OSAS.

methodsA total of 196 patients with OSAS and 104 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Serum levels of nesfatin-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsOSAS patients showed significantly reduced levels of serum nesfatin-1 levels than healthy controls. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicates that serum nesfatin-1 levels were inversely associated with the presence of OSAS (odds ration (OR) 0.003, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.001 to 0.017; P < 0.001). Serum levels of nesfatin-1 were significantly decreased in severe OSAS patients compared with mild and moderate OSAS patients. Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum nesfatin-1 levels were inversely correlated with the severity of OSAS. In addition, Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum nesfatin-1 levels were negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) (r = -0.299, P < 0.001), waist-hip ratio (WHR) (r = -0.277, P < 0.001), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (r = -0.338, P < 0.001), and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (r = -0.248, P < 0.001) in patients with OSAS.

conclusionsDecreased serum nesfatin-1 levels are associated with the presence and severity of OSAS.
