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

Objective: To investigate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on nocturnal ambulatory blood pressure monitoring results in older adults without cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, and to identify factors causing fluctuations in nocturnal blood pressure in older adults with OSAS. Methods: A total of 169 older adult OSAS patients with no history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases were enrolled. According to their severity of OSAS, the participants were divided into 4 groups, including a normal OSAS group, a mild OSAS group, a moderate OSAS group, and a severe OSAS group. The baseline characteristics of the 4 groups were compared to identify differences. The relationship between polysomnography parameters and nocturnal ambulatory blood pressure monitoring results and the factors causing nocturnal blood pressure fluctuations in older adults with OSAS were further analyzed. Results: The nocturnal blood pressure fluctuation (NBPF) index of the normal OSAS group, the mild OSAS group, the moderate OSAS group, and the severe OSAS group were 1.89 ± 1.58, 3.35 ± 5.40, 3.90 ± 6.40, and 16.60 ± 27.70, respectively, indicating that the NBPF index gradually increased with the increasing severity of OSAS ( Conclusion: In older adult OSAS patients without cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, fluctuations in blood pressure at night become more pronounced with increasing disease severity. ODI and TS90% are important factors that affect nocturnal blood pressure fluctuations.
