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

objectiveWe hypothesised that all-cause mortality in elderly patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) was associated with renal insufficiency.

designA cohort study.

settingA prospective study of patients with OSAS enrolled in sleep centres/departments in multicentre hospitals in China from 2015 to 2017.

participantsA total of 1290 patients with OSAS from six tertiary comprehensive hospitals in China were included in this study; of these, 1076 patients were included in the analysis based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

main outcome measuresAll-cause death events were the main adverse outcomes.

resultDuring a median follow-up of 42 months, 50 patients (4.6%) died, including 24 (2.2%) cardiovascular deaths. The incidence of all-cause death and cardiovascular death was higher in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionThe incidence of all-cause death and cardiovascular death events increased with decreasing renal function in elderly patients with OSAS and was higher in patients with end-stage renal insufficiency. The risk of all-cause and cardiovascular deaths was highest at eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73 m
