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

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is relatively common in general population as well as in patients with neuromuscular disease. SDB comprises a wide spectrum of disorders varying from simple snoring to complete closure of the upper airway as seen in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). It includes also other disorders like prolonged hypoxemia, hypoventilation, and central sleep apnoea (CSA). Neuromuscular diseases (NMD) form a group of disorders that can cause significant reduction in the quality and span of life. The involvement of respiratory system in the context of these disorders is the most serious complication, and it is considered as the leading cause of death in those patients. NMD can affect ventilation, cough, swallowing, and phonation. The involvement of respiratory muscles makes NMD patients vulnerable to sleep-disordered breathing with a significant prevalence of SDB among such patients.
