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

purposeObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased F2-isoprostanes, a reliable standard biomarker of oxidative stress. Treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective for all degrees of OSA. However, it remains unknown whether treatment with CPAP will decrease F2-isoprostanes. A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effect of CPAP treatment on F2-isoprostanes among patients with OSA.

methodsThe PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library were searched before September, 2018. Eight articles assessing indices of F2-isoprostanes from various body fluids were identified. Pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) and weighted mean difference (WMD) were appropriately calculated through fixed or random effects models after assessing between-study heterogeneity.

resultsA total of 4 studies with 108 patients were pooled for exhaled breath condensate (EBC) F2-isoprostanes; 3 studies with 93 patients were pooled for serum or plasma F2-isoprostanes; and 3 studies with 102 patients were pooled for urinary F2-isoprostanes. A significant decrease of EBC F2-isoprostanes was observed after CPAP treatment (WMD = 2.652, 95% CI = 0.168 to 5.136, z = 2.09, p = 0.036), as well as serum or plasma F2-isoprostanes and urinary F2-isoprostanes (SMD = 1.072, 95% CI = 0.276 to 1.868, z = 2.64, p = 0.008 and WMD = 85.907, 95% CI = 50.443 to 121.372, z = 4.75, p = 0.000, respectively).

conclusionsThis meta-analysis suggested that CPAP therapy was associated with a significant decrease in F2-isoprostanes in patients with OSA.
