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

objectivePrevious studies suggest a relationship between sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) though disagreements remain. This study was performed to assess the association between SDB and LEAD in a metaanalysis.

methodsPubMed and Embase databases were searched for observational studies. A random-effects model incorporating between-study heterogeneity was used to pool the data.

resultsThe search revealed 7 studies including 152,885 participants. Patients with SDB had higher odds of LEAD (risk ratio [RR] = 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.07 to 1.63, p = 0.01, I

conclusionsPatients with SDB have higher odds of LEAD compared to non-SDB participants.
