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

The aims of this article were to determine the levels of serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients without cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to assess the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Snorers referred for polysomnography (PSG) for the investigation of OSA were eligible and hs-cTnT levels measured in our pilot study. Hs-cTnT was measured again after 3 months of CPAP treatment in participants with severe OSA. A total of 93 participants recruited after PSG. When compared with simple snoring group, severe OSA group had comparable higher hs-cTnT (7.5 ± 3.0 vs. 5.0 ± 2.1; p < 0.05). Hs-cTnT was positively correlated with apnea hypopnea index, and oxygen desaturation index ( r = 0.283, 0.282; p = 0.006, 0.006, respectively). Hs-cTnT levels were not significantly altered in 28 individuals who received 3 months of CPAP treatment (8.4 ± 2.4 vs.7.6 ± 2.1; p = 0.064). Elevated hs-cTnT levels were observed in severe OSA patients without CVD, and CPAP treatment had no influence on this levels.
