Effect of Three Hypopnea Scoring Criteria on OSA Prevalence and Associated Comorbidities in the General Population.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesApnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is the main polysomnographic measure to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to evaluate the effect of three standard hypopnea definitions on the prevalence of OSA and its association with cardiometabolic outcomes in the general population.
methodsWe analyzed data from the HypnoLaus study (Lausanne, Switzerland), in which 2,162 participants (51% women, 57 ± 19 years) underwent in-home full polysomnography. AHI was calculated using three hypopnea definitions: AASM
resultsMedian AHI of AASM
conclusionsHypopnea definition has a major effect on AHI and on OSA prevalence in the general population and, hence, important implications for public health policies. There is a twofold difference in the threshold above which an association with diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome is observed using AASM
