Predicting Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Insomnia: A Comparative Study with Four Screening Instruments.
Article in Lung, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and insomnia are very prevalent disorders, especially in sleep-lab setting, and insomnia may be the presenting complaint of OSA. Here, we aimed to validate No-Apnea as screening tool for OSA in patients with self-reported insomnia complaints and to compare its performance with other models.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved evaluation of No-Apnea as well as STOP-Bang, NoSAS and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in subjects with insomnia being evaluated with full in-lab polysomnography. Discrimination was assessed by area under the curve (AUC), while predictive parameters were calculated by contingency tables. OSA severity was classified based on the apnea/hypopnea index: ≥ 5.0/h as any OSA (OSA
resultsOverall, 2591 patients with a clinical diagnosis of insomnia were included. Diagnosis of OSA
conclusionsIn a large sample of patients with insomnia, No-Apnea, STOP-Bang, and NoSAS, but not ESS, enable satisfactory and similar discrimination at all levels of OSA severity.
