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

purposeTo evaluate the overall prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in interstitial lung disease (ILD).

methodsWe performed a systematic search of the academic literature while adhering to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines on four scientific databases including EMBASE, CENTRAL, Scopus, and MEDLINE. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the prevalence and severity of OSA. Severity was defined by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as mild (AHI ≥ 5 to < 15/h), moderate (AHI ≥ 15 to < 30/h), and severe (AHI ≥ 30/h).

resultsFrom 1397 studies, we found 10 eligible studies with 569 patients with ILD (mean age: 65.3 ± 6.0 years). Among these patients, 332 (61%) suffered from OSA with 32% categorized as mild, 17% moderate, and 9% severe. 

conclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis provides preliminary evidence regarding the high prevalence of OSA in ILD.
