Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Body Composition in Individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Non-Randomized, Matched Before-After Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
A reciprocal relationship between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) likely exists, wherein obesity contributes to OSA, and OSA-related sleep disturbances promote weight gain. It remains unclear whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) affects body composition. We conducted an open-label, parallel-arm, non-randomized, matched before-after study in individuals with OSA who were starting CPAP use (
