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

The aim of this study was to assess the coronary artery calcium score in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study group (group A) consisted of 62 patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (mean age: 59.12 ± 9.09 years, mean AHI index in polysomnography: 20.44 ± 13.22/h), and 62 people without diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (mean age 59.50 ± 10.74 years) constituted the control group (group B). The risk of significant coronary artery disease was assessed in all patients, based on the measurement of the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) using computed tomography. The following cut-off points were used to assess the risk of significant coronary artery disease: CACS = 0-no risk, CACS 1-10-minimal risk, CACS 11-100-low risk, CACS 101-400-moderate risk, and CACS > 400-high risk. Group A was characterized by statistically significantly higher CACS than group B (550.25 ± 817.76 vs. 92.59 ± 164.56,
