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
introductionThe aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficiency of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 262 patients with T2DM were enrolled for STOP-Bang questionnaire evaluation and polysomnography (PSG) monitoring between May 2015 and September 2016. Patients were divided into non-OSA and different OSA severity groups (mild, moderate, and severe) according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The value of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for OSA screening was evaluated.
resultsEfficiency of the STOP-Bang questionnaire for OSA screening among Chinese patients with T2DM was as follows: when AHI ≥ 5/h, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.825 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.763-0.887,
conclusionsThe STOP-Bang questionnaire is an effective tool for OSA screening among Chinese patients with T2DM. A cut-off score of 3 distinguishes OSA from non-OSA with high sensitivity.
