A Longitudinal Follow-Up Study on Multiple Sleep Latency Test and Body Mass Index of Patients With Narcolepsy Type 1 in Korea.
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 4 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
STUDY
objectivesNarcolepsy is a chronic disorder with numerous adverse long-term consequences including increased obesity, high mortality rates, and decreased quality of life. With emerging attention to the long-term course of the disorder and importance of accurate diagnosis, the diagnostic stability of the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)-the mostly frequently used test to identify narcolepsy-is often challenged.
methodsIn this study, we compared the baseline and follow-up demographic characteristics and body mass index (BMI) of patients with narcolepsy type 1. Moreover, MSLT results from repeated tests conducted on 48 patients with narcolepsy type 1 were compared, with mean follow-up of approximately 10 years.
resultsBMI from the baseline to the follow-up visit was significantly increased in the participants. There were no significantly different parameter changes in MSLT results.
conclusionsMSLT has good test-retest validity in patients with narcolepsy type 1. Close surveillance for the detection and management of obesity is warranted in clinical settings.
