The interaction of obesity and craniofacial deformity in obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
objectiveBoth obesity and craniofacial deformity are important etiologies of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The present research aimed to explore their interaction and different impacts on OSA severity.
methodsA total of 207 consecutive OSA patients (169 males, 38 females) were included in the research. Based on the body mass index (BMI) value, patients were divided into 77 normal-weight patients (BMI <24 kg m
resultsFor the whole sample after controlling for gender and age, stepwise regression analysis showed that the factors affecting AHI were increased BMI, narrowing posterior airway space, inferior displacement of hyoid and elongation of the tongue. When grouped by BMI, normal-weight group exhibited with more reduced maxillary length and mandible length, and steeper mandible plane than overweight and obese patients (
conclusionsObesity and skeletal malformations were both etiological factors of OSA, but obesity seemed to have a greater influence on AHI severity in all kinds of obese and thin OSA patients. Only in normal-weight group, it was affected by both cephalometric variables and BMI.
