Obstructive sleep apnoea.
Review in Eye (London, England), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasing in prevalence due to rising obesity. While OSA is a disorder primarily of the upper airway during sleep, its pathophysiological impact on other body systems is increasingly recognised. There has been interest in the prevalence of OSA in different ophthalmic conditions and possible causation has been postulated. As OSA is common, it can be expected that people with co-existent OSA will be found in any ophthalmic disease population studied. To determine with confidence the significance of finding patients with OSA in a particular cohort requires a well matched control group, ideally matched for age, obesity, gender and co-morbidities. Only if one can say with certainty that the prevalence of OSA is higher in a group with a particular co-existent ophthalmic disease can we begin to speculate about possible mechanisms for the overlap in these conditions. Possible mechanisms for how OSA might affect the eye are discussed in this review. The current literature is reviewed with respect to diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, floppy eyelid syndrome, non-arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy, keratoconus and AMD. Associations with OSA have been found, but robust prospective studies using multi-channel sleep studies to diagnose OSA are lacking. Gaps remain in the evidence and in our knowledge. It is hoped that this review will highlight the need for ophthalmologists to consider OSA in their patients. It also makes recommendations for future research, especially to consider whether therapies for OSA can also be effective for ophthalmic disorders.
