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

This study aims to determine the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A search of electronic information through MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library was conducted to identify all studies reporting the association between OSA and IIH. The primary outcome was the prevalence of OSA. A random effects model was used for the analysis. Of 1469 studies identified, eight studies enrolling 241 patients were included. Overall, the pooled estimate of the proportion of OSA in patients with IIH was 0.424 (95% CI: 0.258 to 0.609), indicating a significant association (
