Compartmental inspiratory genioglossus electromyographic activity in supine, awake individuals with and without obstructive sleep apnoea.
Article in The Journal of physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Inspiratory-related genioglossus EMG activity is crucial to maintain upper airway patency. However, whether this activity differs between the oblique (middle) and horizontal (base) compartments or if they vary in people with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is unknown. Here, intramuscular electrodes were inserted into the anterior and posterior regions of the horizontal and oblique genioglossal compartments in nine controls [apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) ≤ 5 events/h] and 45 OSA participants (AHI range 5-94.3 events/h). Multiunit EMG patterns were categorised as phasic (respiratory modulation) or tonic (no respiratory modulation) during nasal breathing in awake, supine participants. The effects of OSA status and genioglossus compartments were assessed through linear mixed models, controlling for nadir epiglottic pressure (P
