Respiratory event index underestimates severity of sleep apnea compared to apnea-hypopnea index.
Article in Sleep advances : a journal of the Sleep Research Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Polygraphy (PG) is often used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it does not use electroencephalography, and therefore cannot estimate sleep time or score arousals and related hypopneas. Consequently, the PG-derived respiratory event index (REI) differs from the polysomnography (PSG)-derived apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the differences between AHI and REI. Conventional AHI and REI were calculated based on total sleep time (TST) and total analyzed time (TAT), respectively, from two different PSG datasets (
