1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To explore the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with primary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). The medical records of patients diagnosed with primary MTD between November 2021 and March 2023, were reviewed. The risk of having OSA was assessed by looking at the scores of two validated questionnaires, namely the STOP-BANG questionnaire and the Berlin questionnaire. A total of 40 patients with primary MTD were enrolled in this study, including 16 females (40%) and 24 males (60%). The mean total STOP-BANG score was 3.57 ± 1.67. Seventeen of the study group had intermediate risk of OSA, and 14 had high risk, accounting for 77.5% of patients with primary MTD. When using the Berlin questionnaire, the mean total score was 1.65 ± 0.95, and 67.5% of the study group had a score > 2 and were at high risk of having OSA. The results of this study indicate that patients with primary MTD are at moderate to severe risk of having OSA.
