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
objectiveIn this study, we aimed to evaluate the localization and configuration of vibration and obstruction in drug-induced sleep endoscopy(DISE) in obstructive sleep apnea patients and to investigate the optimal sedation depth. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was conducted prospectively with 42 patients. After achieving sedation with intravenous anesthetic agents, simultaneous monitoring of the patient's bispectrometry (BIS), DISE and sleep testing with a type 2 polysomnography device were performed. DISE was performed using fentanyl and midazolam, followed by propofol administered with manually controlled infusion method. The recorded data were evaluated and subjected to statistical comparisons.
resultsIt was observed that as BIS values decreased, the frequency of decreased respiratory effort and desaturation increased. Central apneas were observed with BIS values below 65 and were found to increase with deeper sedation, while with BIS values above 70, all respiratory events were obstructive apneas, with retro-palatal obstruction being the most common. It was noted that vibration occurred in over 90% of patients within the BIS range of 60-70. It was decided that the optimal sedation depth for evaluating vibration and obstruction in sleep endoscopy was within the BIS range of 60-75.
conclusionAccording to the results of our study, as sedation depth increases, the frequency of central apnea and desaturation increases. In our study, the sedation depth within the BIS 60-75 range was found to be the most suitable range for evaluating obstructive apnea and snoring.
