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

purposeObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common, yet often undiagnosed. Self-administered, overnight pulse oximetry (OPO) could screen for OSA in asymptomatic, older populations. However, the inter-night variability of OPO in an asymptomatic, older population is unknown. We determined the inter-night variability of home OPO parameters in an older population and correlated with sleep questionnaires.

methodsParticipants > 50 years without a diagnosis of OSA undertook home OPO for three consecutive nights and completed two sleep questionnaires (STOP-BANG (SBQ) and Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS)). Analysis was performed with linear mixed models and Spearman's correlation coefficient.

resultsThere was no difference in oxygen desaturation index (ODI), MeanSpO

conclusionInter-night variability of home OPO was minimal when values were near-normal in an older population. However, as values depart from normal, the inter-night variability increases, indicating the need for multiple night recordings. Low correlation to sleep questionnaires suggest the need for more robust OSA questionnaires in an asymptomatic population.
