Relation of Warrick Score and Polysomnographic Parameters in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often reported in connection with interstitial lung disease. As yet, there is insufficient data on the association of OSA severity parameters with lung involvement. We purposed to assess the frequency of OSA in our study group and to investigate the relationship between radiological involvement and OSA severity parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 79 patients with interstitial lung disease who underwent spirometry, a carbon monoxide diffusion test (DLCO), high-resolution computed tomography, and polysomnography. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software. RESULTS Of the 79 patients, 53 patients (67.1%) had OSA, and there was a negative correlation between DLCO and the mean time spent with oxygen saturation levels below 90% (r=-0.686, P=0.001). The Warrick score was used as an indicator of the extent and severity of pulmonary involvement and was positively correlated with the apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index, and the mean time spent with oxygen saturation below 90% (r=0.275, P=0.014; r=0.264 P=0.019; r=0.235, P=0.038). CONCLUSIONS In our study, a significant relationship was found between the Warrick score and the OSA severity parameters, as determined by polysomnography. Polysomnographic examinations might be useful, especially in patients with a Warrick score greater than 15, to avoid possible complications.
