OSACS score-a new simple tool for identifying high risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome based on clinical parameters.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a cardiovascular risk factor associated with clinical complications like hypertension, ischaemic heart disease or thrombosis. The aim of this study was to develop a new scoring system, based on objective clinical and echocardiographic parameters.
methodsOne hundred fifty-eight consecutive acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients underwent standard clinical, laboratory and echocardiography assessment after ACS, and their risk of OSAS was assessed using Berlin Questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Creation of OSACS (Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Acute Coronary Syndrome patients) score was attempted, with risk factors evaluated in multiple logistic regression model.
resultsIn 34.2% patients, who were at high risk of OSAS left ventricular diastolic diameter, left atrial diameter, and intrventricular septal thickness were elevated. In multiple logistic regression analysis: history of hypertension (Odds Ratio 4.42; 95% CI 0.96-20.5, p=0.06), body mass index (OR 6.82; 95% CI 2.33-20; p<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (OR 6.4; 95% CI 1.58-25.9; p=0.01), left ventricular diastolic diameter (OR 3.5; 95% CI 1.05-11.6; p=0.04), left ventricular mass index (OR 0.26; 95% CI 0.07-0.94; p=0.04), interventricular septal thickness (OR 4.44; 95% CI 1.15-17.1; p=0.03) were independent risk factors for high risk of OSAS. All independent risk factor were implemented into risk prediction model called OSACS. The area under the ROC curve for the OSACS score was 0.87.
conclusionOSAS is highly prevalent in ACS patients. The new OSACS score has a high predictive value in assessment of risk of OSAS in these patients, and it can be used as an objective tool, and an alternative for the Berlin Questionnaire.
