Efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of sleep disorders among patients with Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis.

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
Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an adjunct therapy for treating sleep disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: We conducted comprehensive searches in eight databases from inception through September 2023, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), and Wanfang Database. The objective was to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating HBOT's effectiveness in alleviating sleep disorder symptoms in PD patients as an adjunct therapy. Literature screening and data extraction were independently executed by the authors. Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3 software, and publication bias and sensitivity analyses were assessed using Stata 17.0 software. Results: Seven RCTs involving 461 participants were included. The findings revealed that the addition of HBOT significantly enhanced sleep efficiency (MD = 15.26, 95% CI [10.89, 19.63], Conclusion: The current meta-analysis supports the efficacy of HBOT as an adjunct therapy in managing sleep disorders in PD patients. It is recommended for PD patients experiencing sleep disturbances.
