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

From the physiopathological point of view obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) should be regarded as the phenotype with the highest potential to disrupt the normal circadian blood pressure (BP rhythm). Despite these assumptions, it is surprising, however, to note that the data supporting a link between OSA and paradoxical increase in nighttime BP (ie, the so-called reverse dipping pattern) are still very limited and in some ways not entirely consistent. Available evidence on the association between OSA and reverse dipping (RD pattern), contrary to what is commonly thought, is still scanty. Given the potential negative synergistic effect of these two conditions, it is essential to have studies targeting this topic available soon.
