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
introductionThe coexistence of insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) poses a complex and challenging clinical scenario, commonly referred to as comorbid insomnia and OSA (COMISA). The bidirectional relationship between these two sleep disorders is explored, illuminating how the presence of one can exacerbate the severity and manifestations of the other. We under took this study to understand the prevalence of COMISA in Indians which is never studied.
aimTo study the prevalence of COMISA in tertiary hospital in India.
methodsAll OSA patients diagnosed with polysomnography were interviewed with insomnia severity index. Patients having score of more than 15 were considered to have insomnia. Demographic factors, clinical and physical examination and polysomnography values were noted.
results25% of 64 patients were diagnosed to have COMISA. Female gender, BMI, and STOP BANG score had positive association with COMISA, whereas age was not associated with increased risk.
conclusionCOMISA can be more complex to diagnose and manage than insomnia or OSA alone. The symptoms and mechanisms of each condition have synergistic effect and is a barrier to treating COMISA.
