Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Elective Spine Surgery: National Prevalence and Inpatient Outcomes.
Article in Global spine journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
designRetrospective cohort study.
objectivesEpidemiologic studies suggest that the prevalence of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasing. OSA has been linked to increased rates of postoperative complications following surgery. Large studies, however, regarding surgical outcomes in this patient population, particularly in the spine literature, are limited. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of and postoperative risks conferred by OSA in the elective spine population.
methodsUsing data from the National Inpatient Sample from 2008 to 2012, an estimated 56 372 (5.1%) patients with OSA undergoing elective cervical and thoracolumbar spine surgery were selected and compared to 1 052 837 patients without OSA undergoing the same procedures. Our primary outcome measures included postoperative complication rates, inpatient mortality, length of stay, and total hospital charges.
resultsPatients with OSA were, on average 2.6 years older than those without OSA (
conclusionsPatients with OSA often have multiple concomitant comorbidities and consequently are at increased risk of experiencing a more difficult postoperative course following elective spine surgery. Specifically, increased risks of pulmonary complications and deep venous thrombosis should be anticipated.
