1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sleep apnea, characterized by its high prevalence and serious health consequences, faces a critical bottleneck in diagnosis. Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard, is costly and cumbersome, while wearable devices struggle with quality control and patient compliance, rendering them as unsuitable for both large-scale screening and continuous monitoring. To address these challenges, this research introduces a contactless, low-cost, and accurate event-level sleep apnea detection method leveraging frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar technology. The core of our approach is a novel deep-learning model, built upon the U-Net architecture and augmented with self-attention mechanisms and squeeze-and-excitation (SE) modules, meticulously designed for the precise event-level segmentation of sleep apnea from FMCW radar signals. Crucially, we integrate blood oxygen saturation (SpO
