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

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by repetitive airway closure, which can lead to hypoxemia and sympathetic nervous system activation. This can result in significant cardiovascular and neurologic morbidity. Therefore, early recognition and treatment are extremely important. The gold standard treatment of OSA is positive airway pressure, which has been shown to decrease the risk of these sequelae. Alternatives to positive airway pressure therapy are not commonly discussed but are available to those who are not able to tolerate positive airway pressure. The goal of this review is to discuss the pathophysiology, epidemiology, screening and testing, and treatment considerations for OSA.
