Associations of Undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness With Depression: An Australian Population Study.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
STUDY
objectivesTo determine whether undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or excessive daytime sleepiness are associated with symptomatic depression in Australian men.
methodsParticipants were randomly selected, urban community dwelling men aged 40 to 88 years without a prior diagnosis of OSA. Clinically significant depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-1A or Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (2007-2010). A random sample of men (n = 788) undertook full at-home unattended polysomnography (Embletta X100, Broomfield, Colorado, United States) and completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaire (2010-2012).
resultsUndiagnosed severe obstructive sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 30 events/h) was associated with depressive symptoms (adjusted odds ratio = 1.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-3.73;
conclusionsDepressive symptoms in men were associated with undiagnosed OSA in the community. It is important that clinicians and primary care practitioners consider screening for depression in men with severe OSA and for OSA in men with depression. Screening for depression should also be considered in men with excessive daytime sleepiness regardless of OSA severity.
