Clinical impact of routine sleep assessment by peripheral arterial tonometry in patients with COPD.
Article in ERJ open research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Coexisting obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in patients with COPD, defined as overlap syndrome (OVS), is prevalent and underdiagnosed. Routine assessment of OSA is not common practice in COPD care. Our study assessed the clinical impact of sleep assessment by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) in COPD patients. Methods: 105 COPD patients (mean age 68.1±9 years, body mass index (BMI) 28.3±6.0 kg·m Results: 49 COPD patients (47%) suffered from moderate to severe OSA (OVS group, mean apnoea-hypopnoea index 30.8±18 events·h Conclusions: OVS was highly prevalent, specifically in obese males. REM-related OSA showed strong association with elevated daytime
