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

backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the leading respiratory disorders, increasing the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. In the study, we investigated the association between OSA and the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in adults.

methodsParticipants were enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The baseline covariates were compared between participants with and without OSA status. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to explore the association between OSA and cardiometabolic diseases, while Cox proportional regression was performed for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

resultsOSA status was positively associated with higher risks of cardiometabolic diseases, including hypertension (odds ratio [OR] 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.45; p < 0.001), diabetes (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.22-1.76; p < 0.001), and cardiovascular diseases (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.08-1.54; p = 0.006) after adjusting for numerous covariates. However, no associations of OSA with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality were observed.

conclusionOSA was associated with a higher risk of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, but had no significant association with all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in adults.
