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

objectiveTo determine whether patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at increased risk of occupational injury (OI)

methodsWorking patients (aged 18 to 65 who reported more than 10 h of work per week) who were referred to the University of British Columbia Sleep Laboratory for suspected OSA for polysomnogram (PSG) were recruited from 2003 to 2011. Patients completed an extensive survey the night of their PSG. Validated OI was obtained by linking patient data to Workers Compensation Board Claims Data.

results1109 workers were studied; mean age was 47.1 years, median AHI was 15.0/h, median BMI was 30 kg/m

conclusionsIn this prospective study, OSA severity was independently associated with an increased risk of OI.
