Correlations between Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Periodontitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Dentistry journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The focus of this article was to evaluate the link between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and periodontitis, considering various hypotheses supporting the relationship between respiratory disorders and periodontitis. The literature review for this study was performed using the PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and Proquest databases. The review process was guided by the PRISMA guidelines. The PECOS protocol (Population, Exposure, Control, Outcome, Study) was followed in developing the search strategy to ensure consistent and accurate selection of articles. To evaluate quality, cross-sectional studies were reviewed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool. Case-control studies were assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The research included a total of 10 studies, encompassing 88,040 participants. The meta-analysis observed a statistically significant association between OSAS and periodontitis, with an odds ratio OR = 2.4620 (95%-CI: 1.7345-3.4946
