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

AIMS AND

methodWe aimed to determine the prevalence of risk factors for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia. Using patient records across a 5 year period, we identified 16 855 patients with dementia or MCI. We gave scores for keywords relating to each modified STOP BANG parameter in patient progress notes. Based on individual scores, we stratified the population into groups with low, intermediate and high risk of OSA.

resultsOur population had a high prevalence of risk factors and consequently high risk scores for OSA (18.21% high risk). Parameters directly related to sleep had a low prevalence. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The risk of developing or having OSA is high among patients with MCI and dementia. Low sleep parameter frequency probably suggests poor documentation of sleep rather than true prevalence. Our findings support the implementation of the STOP BANG or a similar screening tool as a standardised method to identify OSA risk in memory clinics.
