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
STUDY
objectivesChanges in nasal resistance (NR) during postural changes are influenced by venous filling pressure and autonomic nervous system mediation, and heart rate variability (HRV) can reflect changes in the autonomic nervous system. This study aimed to explore the regulatory mechanisms of NR in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during postural changes.
methodsHealthy controls (apnea-hypopnea index < 5 events/h) and patients with OSA were recruited. NR and electrocardiogram data were collected in sitting, supine, left-lateral, and right-lateral postures. HRV parameters were obtained by analyzing the electrocardiogram data from each posture. Subgroups were divided according to sitting-supine NR changes, and HRV parameters were compared between different postures and groups/subgroups.
resultsIn total, 34 healthy controls and 39 patients with OSA (mean apnea-hypopnea index 34.34 ± 22.44 events/h) were recruited. During sitting-supine postural changes, the NR increased in the control group but did not change significantly in the OSA group. None of the autonomic nervous system-related HRV parameters changed significantly. After the groups were divided into NR-elevated and NR-unchanged subgroups, sympathetic activity-related HRV parameters were higher in the NR-unchanged subgroup but only statistically significant in the OSA group. When comparing the left and right postures, there was no significant change in NR; however, the OSA group had lower parasympathetic activity-related HRV parameters when in the right posture.
conclusionsDuring postural changes from the sitting to supine positions, the total NR increases, and this increment is smaller in patients with OSA. This is likely due to overregulation of sympathetic activity, which may occur in patients with OSA. CITATION: Shi Y, Lou H, Wang H, et al.
