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

objectiveObstructive sleep apnea is a common respiratory disorder that is still underdiagnosed in Morocco. This study aims to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea and its associated factors in primary healthcare.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 815 adults aged 18 years and older consulting in the primary health care services in Marrakech, Morocco, were included. We evaluated the risk of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome using the modified STOP-BANG questionnaire.

resultsThe prevalence of the high risk of obstructive sleep apnea in our sample is 24.8% (CI 95%: 21.7 - 27.6%). The variables independently associated with the high suspicion of obstructive sleep apnea were: gender male (p = 0.001), age ≥ 45 years (p = 0.001), high blood pressure (p = 0.005), hyperlipidemia (p = 0.042), daytime sleepiness (p = 0.003), snoring (p = 0.001), tiredness (p = 0.001) and mandibular retrognathia (p = 0.025).

conclusionThis survey revealed a significant prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in Morocco. Therefore, we propose to generalize the screening of obstructive sleep apnea in hypertensive patients who report symptoms including daytime sleepiness, snoring, nocturnal choking, and tiredness that are unexplained by other known factors.
