A Prediction Nomogram Combining Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Other Clinical Parameters to Predict Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Hypertension.
Article in International journal of hypertension, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 common in patients with hypertension. Nonetheless, OSA is underdiagnosed despite considerable evidence of the association between OSA and adverse health outcomes. This study developed and validated a clinical nomogram to predict OSA in patients with hypertension based on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score and OSA-related parameters. Methods: A total of 347 hypertensive patients with suspected OSA were retrospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to a training set and a validation set at 70 : 30 ( Results: ESS scores, body mass index, neck circumference, snoring, and observed apnea predicted OSA are considered. The nomogram showed similar discrimination between the training set (AUC: 0.799, 95% CI: 0.743-0.847) and validation set (AUC: 0.766, 95% CI: 0.673-0.843) and good calibration in the training ( Conclusions: We developed a novel OSA prediction nomogram based on ESS scores and OSA-related parameters. This nomogram may help improve clinical decision-making, especially in communities and primary clinics, where polysomnography is unavailable.
