Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

STUDY

objectivesWe evaluated the accuracy and precision of continuous overnight oxygen saturation (SpO

methodsParticipants completed sleep questionnaires, had a WD (Samsung Galaxy Watch 4) placed on their wrist, and underwent attended, in-laboratory overnight PSG (Nihon Kohden) with a pulse oximetry probe secured either to a finger or an ear lobe. PSG data were scored by a single experienced registered PSG technologist. Statistical analysis included demographic characteristics, continuous SpO

resultsThe 51 participants analyzed had a median age of 49 (range, 22-78) years; 66.7% were male, with median body mass index of 28.1 (range, 20.1-47.3) kg/m

conclusionsThe WD conducted reliable overnight continuous SpO CITATION: Browne SH, Vaida F, Umlauf A, Kim J, DeYoung P, Owens RL. Performance of a commercial smart watch compared to polysomnography reference for overnight continuous oximetry measurement and sleep apnea evaluation.
