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

STUDY

objectivesRecently, the Icelandic Sleep Apnea Cohort (ISAC) identified three subgroups in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) recruited from the sleep clinic based on clinical symptoms and comorbidities: excessively sleepy, minimally symptomatic, and disturbed sleep. This study sought to determine whether the three OSA subgroups are applicable to a population-based cohort in Korea.

methodsStudy subjects are participants of an ongoing cohort study in Korea. Of the 2,918 participants, 422 new moderate to severe OSA cases (apneahypopnea index [AHI] ≥ 15 events/h) were diagnosed by home sleep studies. All participants completed a detailed questionnaire on sleep-related symptoms, comorbidities, medication, and other information. A latent class analysis was performed.

resultsWhen examining solutions for up to 10 clusters, the

conclusionsCombined with the ISAC data, we suggest that the three-symptom cluster solution for patients with OSA may be more widely applicable, irrespective of ethnicity and study population.
