ArticleSleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung2021
Sea level nocturnal minimal oxygen saturation can accurately detect the presence of obstructive sleep apnea in a population with high pretest probability.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeTo evaluate whether a predictive model based on nocturnal minimal oxygen saturation (SpO
methodsA total of 4297 participants with suspected OSA were enrolled in this study, and laboratory-based polysomnography (PSG) tests were performed at sea level in all subjects. Nocturnal minimal SpO
resultsThe prevalence of OSA was 85.6% in our study population. The models including multiple predictors, and the gender-specific models, failed to outperform the model based solely on minimal SpO
conclusionsA predictive model based on nocturnal minimal SpO
