Observational studySleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung2022
A novel, simple, and accurate pulse oximetry indicator for screening adult obstructive sleep apnea.
Observational study in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe objective of the study was to develop a multiparametric oximetry indicator (IMp-SpO2) to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in adults. MATERIAL AND
methodThis was an observational, retrospective study of diagnostic accuracy. We included adults who had had a diagnostic polysomnography with few artifacts and a total sleep time of at least 180 min in the sleep laboratory. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5. The database was randomly divided into an experimental (Exp-G) and validation (Val-G) group. The program calculated several parameters of oxygen saturation variability (Par-VarSpO2): (a) oxygen desaturation index (ODI ≥ 3, 4%) and (b) 90, 95, and 97.5 percentiles of both the number of oxygen desaturations ≥ 3 and 4% (P90-97.5 OD3/4 W5-60) and SpO2 standard deviations in moving windows from 5 to 60 min (P90-P97.5 SDSpO2 W5-10). Area under the ROC curve (AUC-ROC), sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative likelihood ratios, and accuracy were calculated.
resultsOf 1141 adults included in the study, experimental (571) and validation group (570) were similar (women 47% vs 45%, BMI 27.5 kg/m
conclusionThe IMp-SpO2 showed a > 90% accuracy for OSA diagnosis in adults.
