Comparison of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Outcomes Among Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap, and Pickwickian Syndrome (Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome).
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often present in coronary artery disease patients and confers a high risk of complications following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The impact of two commonly associated comorbid conditions, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS, Pickwickian syndrome) in OSA patients undergoing PCI has never been studied. Methods The National Inpatient Sample (NIS; 2007-2014) was queried using the International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification 9 (ICD-9-CM) codes to compare baseline characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes in adults undergoing PCI with OSA, COPD-overlap syndrome, and OSA+OHS. Results Of a total of 4,792,177 PCI-related inpatient encounters, OSA, OSA-COPD overlap syndrome, and OSA+OHS were found to be present in 153,706 (median age 62 years, 79.4% male), 65135 (median age 65 years, 66.0% male), and 2291 (median age 63 years, 58.2% males) patients, respectively. The OHS+OSA cohort, when compared to the COPD-OSA and OSA cohorts, was found to have the worst outcomes in terms of all-cause mortality (2.8% vs. 1.5% vs. 1.1%), hospital stay (median 6 vs. 3 vs. 2 days), hospital charges ($147, 209 vs. $101,416 vs. $87,983). Complications, including cardiogenic shock (7.3% vs. 3.4% vs. 2.6%), post-procedural myocardial infarction (11.2% vs. 7.1% vs. 6.0%), iatrogenic cardiac complications (6.1% vs. 3.5% vs. 3.7%), respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, infections, and pulmonary embolism, were also significantly higher in patients with OHS+OSA. Adjusted multivariable analysis revealed equivalent results with OHS+OSA having worse outcomes than OSA-COPD and OSA. Conclusion Concomitant OHS and COPD were linked to worse clinical outcomes in patients with OSA undergoing PCI. Future prospective studies are warranted to fully understand related pathophysiology, evaluate and validate long-term outcomes, and formulate effective preventive and management strategies.
