Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundObesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) can be complicated by several cardiovascular conditions. We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with OHS.
methodsIn this prospective observational study, all consecutive OHS patients referred to the sleep disorders clinic between January 2002 to December 2016 were included (n=113). Demographic data, echocardiography, sleep parameters, arterial blood gases (ABGs), and lung functions were recorded.
resultsOf 113 patients with OHS who participated, 76 patients (67%) had LVDD. More than two-thirds had grade 1 LVDD. Median body mass index (BMI) was 42.8 kg/m
conclusionsDiastolic left ventricular dysfunction is prevalent among OHS patients even in the absence of severe OSA. Hypertension and obesity were significantly more common in patients with LVDD. Assessment of diastolic dysfunction should be included in the initial evaluation of OHS patients to encourage the early institution of therapy.
