Prevalence of Glaucoma in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

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
To determine the prevalence of glaucoma in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and compare it with that of patients without OSA. Patients investigated for OSA using polysomnography at the sleep center of King Abdulaziz University Hospital were invited to participate in this cross-sectional case series study. American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines were used to diagnose OSA. Recruitment of patients with and without OSA was conducted from December 2013 to September 2015. Exclusion criteria included topical and systemic steroid use and presence of other ocular diseases. Two criteria, cup/disc ratio and visual field defects, were necessary for a glaucoma diagnosis. Among 84 adults enrolled, 44 (52%) had a confirmed diagnosis of OSA. Glaucoma prevalence was higher among individuals with OSA (16%) than among non-OSA individuals (8%), a difference that was not statistically significant. A consistent trend, which was not statistically significant after adjusting for cofounders, toward more glaucomatous changes was observed in OSA subjects. Although a trend toward higher glaucoma prevalence was observed in OSA patients, the difference was not statistically significant. As many variables contribute to the development of the two conditions, larger cohorts are needed to evaluate associations between glaucoma and OSA.
