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
backgroundsObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is increasingly encountered by anesthesiologists in clinical practice. However, research on managing these patients among anesthesiologists in China is scarce. This study aims to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and perioperative management strategies for OSA patients among Chinese anesthesiologists.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, anesthesiologists from various hospitals across China were invited to complete a thirty-eight-item online questionnaire survey between October 1 and November 1, 2022. The Obstructive Sleep Apnea Knowledge and Attitude (OSAKA) scale was utilized to measure their knowledge and attitudes.
resultsA total of 470 valid participants were recruited for this research, resulting in a valid response rate of 73.3%. (1) While the majority of participants acknowledged the importance of identifying OSA during perioperative management, only 58.3% felt confident in managing OSA patients; (2) Anesthesiologists with higher professional titles and longer work experience exhibited greater confidence in managing OSA patients; (3) Just under half of the participants were familiar with the STOP-Bang and Berlin questionnaires. Anesthesiologists with over 20 years of work experience were more likely to use the STOP-Bang and Berlin questionnaires compared to those with less than 10 years of work experience (OR = 3.166, P < 0.001); (4) 71.1% of participants expressed approval regarding the preparation of sugammadex for muscle relaxation reversal, while only 32.8% approved the safety of opioid use for postoperative analgesia in OSA patients.
conclusionThe study displayed that Chinese anesthesiologists have inadequate knowledge and perioperative management of OSA than expected. However, they have positive attitudes towards the assessment and management of OSA. The study highlights the need for high-quality training to identify and manage OSA among Chinese anesthesiologists.
