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 develop and validate a clinical prediction model for olfactory dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), evaluating the combined predictive value of polysomnography (PSG) parameters and clinical symptoms. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 546 OSAHS patients, including 420 from the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College were [randomly divided into training ( Results: Among 546 enrolled patients, with OSAHS were included in this study. The overall olfactory dysfunction incidence was 38.64% (211/546). Multivariable analysis identified seven independent predictors: gender, age, AHI, N3%, REM%, TS90%, and MoCA. The predictive efficacy AUC of the training set model was 0.832 (95% CI: 0.784-0.880); good calibration (slope = 0.89, Hosmer-Lemeshow Conclusion: Our prediction model constructed based on gender, age, AHI, N3%, REM%, TS90%, and MoCA can effectively identify OSAHS patients at high risk for olfactory dysfunction. With robust discrimination and calibration, this tool provides a clinically useful, non-invasive method for early risk stratification and intervention planning.
