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

backgroundThere is increasing evidence that there is a direct relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cerebrovascular (CV) disease. This meta-analysis includes prospective cohorts and cross-sectional studies. It determines the prevalence of OSA among patients with CV disease and also looks for the risk o f cerebrovascular events among patients with OSA.

methodWe conducted a computerized literature search in the databases of Medline, Embase, Wanfang, CNKI, Wiley Online Library, and CINAHL (date till April 2017). The random effects model was used to pool the hazard ratio (HR) and effect sizes (ES). Heterogeneity, subgroup, sensitivity analyses, and publication bias were performed.

resultFifty-eight studies involving 3 million patients/participants were included. The pooled HR of 15 prospective cohort studies indicated a significant association between OSA and the risk of CV disease after adjustment confounding factors (HR 1.94; 95% CI 1.31-2.89; P = 0.001), and OSA is present in up to 58.8% of patients with CV disease after pooling the remaining 43 studies.

conclusionsOSA is very common in patients with CV disease. Similarly, patients with OSA are prone to have CV disease.
