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

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is linked to local neural injury that evokes airway muscle remodelling. The upper airway muscles of patients with OSA are exposed to intermittent hypoxia as well as vibration induced by snoring. A range of electrophysiological and other studies have established altered motor and sensory function of the airway in OSA. The extent to which these changes impair upper airway muscle function and their relationship to the progression of OSA remains undefined. This review will collate the evidence for upper airway remodelling in OSA, particularly the electromyographic changes in upper airway muscles of patients with OSA.
