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

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB), as defined by the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI), is a highly prevalent disturbance in end stage kidney disease. SDB improves early on after renal transplantation but long-term changes in AHI in these patients have not been studied. We studied the long-term changes in AHI in a series of 221 renal transplant patients (mean age: 47 ± 12 years; 70% males) over a median follow up of 35 months. Data analysis was made by the generalized estimating equations method (GEE). On longitudinal observation, the median AHI rose from 1.8 (Interquartile range: 0.6-5.0) to 2.9 (IQR: 1.0-6.6) and to 3.6 (IQR: 1.7-10.4) at the second and third visit, respectively (
