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) is frequent in patients with acute stroke. Little is known, however about the evolution of SDB after stroke. Most of our knowledge stems from smaller cohort studies applying limited cardiopulmonary sleep recordings or from cross-sectional data collected in different populations. This study aims to determine prevalence, type and intra-individual evolution of SDB based on full-night polysomnography (PSG) in acute stroke and 3 months thereafter. Furthermore, we aimed to identify predictors of SDB in the acute and chronic phase and to evaluate associations between SDB and functional outcome at 3 months (M3). A total of 166 patients with acute cerebrovascular events were evaluated by full PSG at baseline and 105 again at M3. The baseline prevalence of SDB (apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI)>5·h
