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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition that occurs due to complete (apnea) and partial (hypopnea) obstruction in the upper airways during sleep. Hypoxia is one of the key factors contributing to the development of symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea and OSA-related diseases.
objectiveThe present study aimed to evaluate time perception differences between patients with OSA and healthy individuals, as well as among different OSA severity groups.
methodsTwenty severe OSA, twenty moderate OSA, twenty mild OSA patients, and twenty healthy volunteers without OSA were included in the study. Scales were administered to the participants. Time perception tests were administered to evaluate perceptual timing.
resultsIn the paced motor timing test, a difference was observed between the OSA ( +) group and the OSA (-) group. In the Time Estimation Test, a difference was observed between the OSA ( +) group and the OSA (-) group and their subgroups.
conclusionThe internal clock works slower in the OSA ( +) group. When subgroups were compared based on the degree of OSA, the internal clock worked slower as we transitioned from the OSA (-) group to the severe OSA group. It is considered that as you move from the OSA (-) group to the severe OSA group, the switch between pacemaker and accumulator is disrupted due to the decrease in attention. Recurrent hypoxia observed in OSA may alter the perception of time by affecting attention.
