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
STUDY
objectivesThis study investigated the impact of automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) therapy on vascular behavior and its potential to lower cardiovascular risk in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as well as differentiating APAP therapy heterogeneity.
methodsAll participants were diagnosed with OSA by portable monitoring, and pulse wave parameters and cardiac risk composite parameter index were obtained by photoplethysmography before and after APAP. Clustering analysis of pulse wave parameters before APAP in the high-risk population was performed using k-means clustering. Linear regression was used to assess the associations of changes in cardiac risk composite parameter index and pulse wave parameters with clinical characteristics.
resultsEighty-two patients with OSA underwent APAP therapy. The cardiac risk composite parameter index after APAP was significantly lower than before APAP (0.38 ± 0.33 and 0.58 ± 0.31, respectively;
conclusionsAPAP reduces the cardiac risk composite parameter index in patients with OSA by altering vascular behavior. Overnight photoplethysmography monitoring of pulse wave parameters can be used to assess whether patients with OSA will benefit from APAP. CITATION: Zhu W, Xiang L, Cao L, Tian Y, Li W, He L.
