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

purposeObstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) may cause pulmonary diseases, and periostin plays an important role on the development of pulmonary diseases. In addition, periostin and pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α can regulate each other in vivo. This study aimed to observe the changes of serum periostin and TNF-α levels in patients with OSAHS compared with healthy volunteers and to investigate their correlation.

methodsA convenience sample of 67 patients with OSAHS in our hospital from December 2018 to December 2019 was selected and categorized into mild, moderate, and severe groups according to apnea-hypopnea index by polysomnography. In addition, 21 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. Serum levels of periostin and TNF-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results were analyzed using the SPSS software.

resultsBoth serum periostin and TNF-α levels in all the three OSAHS groups were higher than those of the control group and increased with severity of OSAHS. The severe group had significantly higher serum periostin and TNF-α levels than the mild and moderate groups (p < 0.05). For patients with OSAHS, serum periostin and TNF-α levels positively correlated with the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with the lowest saturation oxygen (LSaO

conclusionsSerum periostin and TNF-α levels were significantly increased in patients with OSAHS and may serve as a potential biomarker for severity of OSAHS. These findings suggest that it may be fruitful to study the role of periostin and TNF-α in OSAHS-induced pulmonary diseases.
