Investigation of the Usefulness of Waveform Classification Analysis of Oxygen Saturation for Sleep Apnea Syndrome.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe waveform patterns of nocturnal oxygen saturation (SpO PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 88 patients who underwent polysomnography were analyzed and classified into two groups: those with an intermittent desaturation pattern (n=76) and those without this pattern (n=12). We retrospectively analyzed polysomnography data from patients with suspected sleep apnea syndrome and evaluated the relationships between the waveform patterns of nocturnal SpO
resultsThe mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of the 88 patients was 39.9 (range=4.4-114.8) events/h, and 87 patients were diagnosed with sleep apnea syndrome. The mean AHI for the group with intermittent pattern was 43.6 (interquartile range=7.0-114.8) events/h, which was significantly greater than the mean AHI for the group with nonintermittent pattern, which was 30.4 (interquartile range=4.4-78.4) events/h. In addition, patients with the intermittent pattern were more likely to have moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea (
