Nocturnal Mean Oxygen Saturation Is Associated with Secondary Polycythemia in Young Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Especially in Men.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
objectiveWhether the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) contributes to clinical polycythemia is uncertain, especially in young adults. This study aimed to assess the correlation between untreated OSA and polycythemia, controlling for multiple confounders, and to observe the difference in both genders.
methodsAll participants underwent nocturnal polysomnography. Medical comorbidities, and demographic and laboratory information were also recorded. The relationship between OSA and concomitant polycythemia in both genders was analyzed.
resultsA total of 605 young participants (383 men and 222 women), aged 30.52 ± 7.21 years, were enrolled, with an average body mass index of 32.48 ± 6.06 kg/m
conclusionNocturnal mean SpO
