Screening and Perioperative Management of Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) can often be underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed and has been shown to pose significant risks in perioperative situations. Patients with OHS have a higher prevalence of baseline morbid conditions like hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF), diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary hypertension (PH), which contribute to adverse postoperative outcomes. The potential challenges include difficult intubation and loss of airway, postoperative respiratory failure, worsening heart failure, pulmonary hypertensive crisis, and opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD). It is, therefore, important to screen all obese patients for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and OHS before elective surgical procedures. The aim of this review is to discuss the preoperative screening and evaluation and safe anesthetic and up-to-date ventilatory management of this complex group of patients. This review also intends to increase the awareness of OHS in the adult population among hospitalists, surgeons, and cardiologists who may find themselves taking care of these patients in complex multidisciplinary settings.
