The Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression Symptoms in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05594212 (The Effect of Abdominal Breathing on Improving of Depression, Anxiety, and Heart Rate Variability in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients With Depressive Symptoms), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Objectives Mood disorders are common in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), though the interactions are not well-understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between anxiety and depression with OSA. Methods Patients who presented to the sleep center underwent polysomnography (PSG). Records were included if the sleep study showed OSA (Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) ≥5 events/hour). All patients completed an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). A score of 8 or higher on the respective portion of the HADS was abnormal. Results A total of 45 records were included, with 28 scoring positive for anxiety and 29 positive for depression. Patients with anxiety had lower AHI (median (interquartile ratio)) than those without (21.4 (9.6-41.3) vs. 50.5 (25.1-94.3); p=0.0076). The peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO
