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

Intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation are pathophysiological processes involved in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which affect gut microbiota, sleep architecture, and mTOR signaling pathway. However, the involvement of these elements in the pathogenesis mechanism of OSA-associated hypertension remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated whether the OSA-associated hypertension mechanism is regulated by the gut microbiota and mTOR signaling pathway. Patients were diagnosed by polysomnography; their fecal samples were obtained and analyzed for their microbiome composition by 16S ribosomal RNA pyrosequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Transcript genes on fasting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were examined using Illumina RNA-sequencing analysis. Totally, we enrolled 60 patients with severe OSA [without hypertension (
