Effects of Surgical Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Renal and Survival Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Taiwanese Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The association between surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and survival outcomes is not established, and this study aimed to evaluate this association. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted from 2001 to 2015, including 32,220 eligible CKD patients with incident OSA. By 1:3 propensity score matching, 1078 CKD patients with incident OSA who received surgery (treated cohort) and 3234 untreated cohort who never received surgery were analyzed. The risk of ESRD in the competing mortality was significantly lower in the treated cohort than in the untreated cohort, with an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 0.38 (95% confidence interval (CI0, 0.15−0.97; p = 0.043). In addition, the adjusted HRs of overall, cardiovascular, and non-cardiovascular mortality in the treated and untreated cohorts were 2.54 (95% CI, 1.79−3.59; p < 0.0001), 1.46 (95% CI, 0.29−7.22; p = 0.64), and 2.62 (95% CI, 1.83−3.75; p < 0.0001), respectively. Furthermore, the risks of overall and non-cardiovascular mortality for the treated cohort primarily occurred during a 3-month follow-up. In conclusion, surgical treatment for incident OSA in CKD patients was associated with decreased ESRD risk, but with increased non-cardiovascular mortality risk, especially within 3 months after surgical treatment.
