The association between obstructive sleep apnea and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: a retrospective nationwide inpatient sample analysis.
Article in Clinical and experimental hepatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aim of the studyThe primary purpose of this study was to assess the association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from a large national inpatient sample database. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project-Nationwide Inpatient Sample. OSA and NASH patients were identified using the ICD-10-CM code G47.33 and K75.81. Non-NASH patients (control) were randomly selected and matched by age and gender to each NASH patient in a 4 : 1 ratio. Weighted logistic regression models were used to calculate the association between OSA and NASH in addition to different comorbidities.
resultsA total of 54,169 participants were included in our analysis; 10,740 cases of NASH were matched to 43,429 controls (non-NASH). NASH was significantly higher in the white population (82.12% vs. 76.64%,
conclusionsThis is the first study using the ICD-10-CM code with a specific search code for NASH. Our large population database results emphasize that there is a significant association between OSA and NASH.
