Prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in primary care patients with hypertension.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAs the number of patients with hypertension who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might be underestimated, this study aimed to explore the prevalence of OSA and develop a diagnostic algorithm for moderate or severe OSA among primary care (PC) patients with hypertension.
methodsThis multicenter cross-sectional study enrolled patients diagnosed with hypertension aged 18 years or older in Japan from October 2012 to September 2014.
resultsForty-nine patients (64.5%) had 22 or more obstructive respiratory events during sleep.
conclusionsThe prevalence of OSA among PC patients with hypertension might be much higher than previously thought.
