A novel parameter is better than the AHI to assess nocturnal hypoxaemia and excessive daytime sleepiness in obstructive sleep apnoea.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
To evaluate whether the percentage of total sleep time spent with apnoea and hypopnoea duration time (AHT%) is better than the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) for the assessment of nocturnal hypoxaemia and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Patients with suspected OSA were enrolled. Polysomnography, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, self-administered surveys and anthropometric measures were performed. The efficiency of AHT% and the AHI was evaluated for nocturnal hypoxaemia and EDS. A total of 160 eligible participants were analysed. The median AHT% in normal, mild, moderate and severe OSA patients was significantly different in the four-group patients with OSA. Spearman rank correlations analysis found that the associations were stronger between AHT% with percentage of total sleep time and O
