The Role of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy-A National Register-Based Study.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionwe investigated the association between OSA and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR).
methodswe used three nationwide registers to identify subjects with and without OSA and patients with type 1 (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Danish Civil Registration System was used to link OSA with diabetes diagnosis. The primary outcome was the occurrence of VTDR in diabetic patients with and without OSA. The secondary outcome was the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients with and without OSA.
resultswe included 532,828 diabetic subjects comprising 13,279 patients with OSA (2.5%) and 519,549 without OSA (97.5%). Diabetic patients with OSA had a 57% lower risk of VTDR compared to diabetic patients without OSA (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.38-0.50,
conclusionsour findings indicate that OSA is associated with a lower risk of VTDR. Since we did not adjust our outcomes for diabetes duration, hypertension control and hemoglobin A1c, future studies are needed to confirm our findings.
