Serum Ferritin Levels in Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with various acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, as has serum ferritin, an intracellular iron storage protein. Little is known about the relationship between severity of OSA and serum ferritin levels in otherwise healthy subjects. In this study, all polysomnographic recordings, serum levels of ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and hemoglobin, as well as patient files from 90 consecutive, otherwise healthy individuals with suspected OSA who presented to a tertiary sleep medical center were retrospectively analyzed. For comparison, three groups were formed based on apnea-hypopnea index (AHI; none or mild OSA: <15/h vs. moderate OSA: 15-30/h vs. severe OSA: >30/h). Serum ferritin levels were significantly positively correlated with AHI (r = 0.3240,
