The Frequency of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveInterruption or reduction in airflow and desaturation is a theoretically expected result in bronchiectasis accompanied by excessive secretions in the airways, bronchial wall thickening, and destruction of the wall structure. The same mechanism of interruption or reduction in airflow and desaturation is valid for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, data on the association of bronchiectasis with OSA are scarce. We aimed to investigate the frequency of OSA and related parameters in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). MATERIAL AND
methodsAll 43 consecutive patients who presented to the outpatient clinic for bronchiectasis follow-up between January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019 were included. The polysomnography (PSG) data of the 43 patients were reviewed. Groups of patients with and without OSA, as detected using PSG, were compared in terms of clinical, demographic, and polysomnographic parameters.
resultsThe mean age of the 43 patients was 50 ± 15 years; 28 (65.2%) were female. OSA was detected in 24 (55.8%) of 43 patients, of whom 14 (32.6%) had mild, 5 (11.6%) had moderate, and 5 (11.6%) had severe OSA. Three (7.0%) patients were REM-dependent and 7 (16.3%) were position-dependent. When evaluated using logistic regression analysis, REM percentage (16.8% vs. 11.8%, P = .03) and presence of witnessed apnea (33.3% vs. 15.7%, P = .01) were observed to be significantly higher in the patients with OSA. The age factor was found at the significance limit (P = .05).
conclusionThe frequency of OSA in patients with NCFB is 55.8%. Investigating OSA using PSG is important in patients with NCFB, especially at advanced ages.
