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

purposeHypothyroidism is associated with a high frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the prevalence of OSA in hypothyroid patients is not different from the general population in many reports. The importance of thyroid function screening in sleep-disordered breathing is still controversial. This study aimed to explore the association between thyroid dysfunction and OSA in the adults with prediabetes or diabetes mellitus type 2, who have very high prevalence of OSA.

methodsOSA was assessed using an in-home monitoring device, WatchPAT200. OSA severity was measured using apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), minimum oxygen saturation (minO2), and time spent under oxygen saturation < 90% (T90). Patients with pre-existing thyroid dysfunction were excluded.

resultsParticipants included 70 men and 118 women with mean age 52.8 ± 10.9 years and body mass index 28.2 ± 4.9 kg/m

conclusionsThese data do not support universal screening for thyroid dysfunction in OSA patients with diabetes or prediabetes.
