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

purposeUltra-wideband bio-radar (UWB) is a new non-contact technology that can be used to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, little information is available regarding its reliability. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of UWB and to determine if UWB could provide a novel and reliable method for the primary screening of sleep-related breathing disorders.

methodSubjects with suspected OSA from the sleep center of the First Hospital of the China Medical University were assessed over the period of September 2018 to April 2019 for enrollment in the study. Three detection methods were simultaneously used, including the STOP-Bang questionnaire (SBQ), UWB, and standard polysomnography (PSG). The data were analyzed using a fourfold table, receiver operating characteristic curves, Spearman rank correlation coefficients, Bland-Altman plots, and epoch-by-epoch analysis.

resultOf 67 patients, 56 were men, mean age was 43 ± 11 years, mean body mass index was 27.8 ± 4.8 kg/m

conclusionsUWB performs well in the screening of OSA and can provide reliable outcomes for the screening of OSA at the primary level.
