The use of visceral adiposity variables in the prediction of obstructive sleep apnea: evidence from a large cross-sectional study.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 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
purposeThe purposes of this study were to evaluate the ability of visceral adiposity variables [the lipid accumulation product (LAP), the visceral adiposity index (VAI), and the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG)] in predicting obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to determine the effect of sex on the prediction.
methodsA total of 5539 subjects admitted to the sleep center for suspected OSAHS were consecutively recruited from 2007 to 2016. Anthropometric measurements, biological indicators, Epworth sleepiness scale score, and polysomnographic variables were collected. Prediction models for diagnosing OSAHS were established in the test group by logistic regression and verified in the validation group by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsA total of 4703 patients were included in total. LAP and TyG were of moderate diagnostic accuracy for OSAHS, with the diagnostic efficiency differing between men and women. A prediction model was developed that combined visceral adiposity indicators with waist circumstance and the lowest SpO
conclusionsLAP and TyG were of moderate efficiency in screening for OSAHS. The prediction model provides a simple and practical screening tool for OSAHS.
