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
purposeOur aim in this study is to investigate the significance and implications of different clinical subtypes of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in three different sleep centers from varied provinces.
methodsBetween January 2023 and November 2024, 330 patients from three sleep centers (Adana, Gaziantep, and Istanbul) were retrospectively examined for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), polysomnography parameters, sleep stages, arousals, oxygen parameters, heart rates, apnea-hypopnea indexes (AHI) and snoring.
resultsOSAS patients of Gaziantep were fat and severe OSAS patients who slept lightly but efficiently at lower oxygen levels with longer durations. They fell into Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep quickly. The number of hypopneas is high. OSAS patients of Adana sleep deeply, frequently wake after sleep onset, and snore less. The number of obstructive apnea is high. OSAS patients of Istanbul sleep efficiently but snore a lot. REM oxygen saturation, oxygen desaturation index (ODI) levels, and the average heart rate were high in Istanbul. The number of central and mixed apneas is high.
conclusionsSleep patterns and oxygen measurements varied among clinical subtypes of patients with OSAS, as well as among provinces. Understanding regional or subtype-specific OSAS could alter practice because treatment can be planned according to the severity of OSAS.
