An Atypical Presentation of Central Sleep Apnea in the Context of Bariatric Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 considerably associated with obesity due to increased upper airway tissue deposition, increased upper airway resistance, and reduced airflow. Bariatric surgery is a consideration in those with severe obesity to facilitate weight loss and aid OSA symptoms. However, postoperatively, patients are at an increased risk of developing central apneic events, thereby leading to complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS). The management of CompSAS is nuanced and can involve the utilization of continuous airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), and/or adaptive sero-ventilation (ASV). Overall, the approach to treating CompSAS remains multifaceted, and numerous considerations should be made in terms of managing post-bariatric surgery patients and their sleep-disordered breathing conditions.
