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

STUDY

objectivesTo establish the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leaks and demonstrate the reliability of home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) to screen for OSA in this population.

methodsA literature review was performed to assess data on OSA prevalence in sCSF leaks. An institutional retrospective review was performed of 20 patients with sCSF leaks who met inclusion criteria. Patients without prior sleep studies were prospectively administered sleep studies, either HSAT or polysomnogram (PSG).

resultsTwenty patients met the inclusion criteria. Two patients had prior sleep studies while 18 patients obtained prospective sleep studies following diagnosis and prior to management of sCSF leaks. Nineteen patients (95%) had evidence of mild or greater OSA.

conclusionsThis study re-demonstrates the high prevalence of OSA in patients with sCSF leaks, consistent with current literature, and investigates the reliability of HSAT for diagnosis of OSA in this population.
