Prediction Models of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Model Performance.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGestational obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to improve pregnancy outcomes. Conventional OSA screening questionnaires are less accurate, and various prediction models have been studied specifically during pregnancy.
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis were performed for multivariable prediction models of both development and validation involving diagnosis of OSA during pregnancy.
resultsOf 1262 articles, only 6 studies (3713 participants) met the inclusion criteria and were included for review. All studies showed high risk of bias for the construct of models. The pooled C-statistics (95%CI) for development prediction models was 0.817 (0.783, 0850),
conclusionsPrediction models for gestational OSA showed good performance during early and late trimesters. A high level of heterogeneity and few external validations were found indicating limitation for generalizability and the need for further studies.
