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

STUDY

objectivesOvernight pulse oximetry (OPO) is commonly used as a screening test for obstructive sleep apnea. Heart rate variability (HRV) correlates well with apnea-hypopnea index during polysomnography (PSG). We hypothesized that visual correlation of episodic increase in HRV with minimal oxygen desaturations on normal OPO (oxygen desaturation index less than 5 events/h) is predictive of OSA.

methodsA retrospective analysis of patients undergoing OPO and PSG in 1 year was performed. We included only OPO performed on room air and interpreted as normal. Visual correlation between simultaneous increase in HRV and minimal oxygen desaturation was independently assessed by three raters, resulting in the consensus agreement. The primary outcome was presence of OSA on the subsequent PSG.

resultsOf 936 patients with OPO and PSG, 109 patients had normal overnight oximetry study on room air. Of these, 65 (60%) were females, median (interquartile range) age was 54 years (44, 67), body mass index was 29 kg/m

conclusionsVisual correlation between episodic increase in HRV and minimal oxygen desaturations on OPO is an independent predictor of OSA, and promising marker for clinical use.
