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 aim of this study was to study the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in patients with nasal and nasopharyngeal pathologies. A total of 60 consenting patients between the age of 14 to 60 years with primary nasal and nasopharyngeal pathologies were taken up for the study. These patients underwent history taking, detailed clinical examination including BMI, diagnostic nasal endoscopy and overnight polysomnography. The polysomnography results of people with different pathologies were compared and analysed. Based on the analysis it was arrived that isolated pathologies like septal deviation, nasal polypi and adenoid hypertrophy provided a statistically significant association with occurrence and severity of OSA. Also, that patients with combined pathologies were more proportionately affected by OSA than those with isolated pathologies. Nasal and nasopharyngeal pathologies have significant association with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and all patients with these pathologies need to undergo polysomnography along with other routine investigations.
