Work Productivity Burden Among Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity Versus Controls Without Obstructive Sleep Apnea or Obesity.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2026. 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to examine work loss, motor vehicle accidents, and serious injuries among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity ("patients") versus matched controls without OSA or obesity ("controls").
methodsOutcomes were compared for patients and controls after matching on baseline demographics, overall and stratified by OSA severity.
resultsPatients were 3 times more likely to have a short-term disability (STD) claim (15.7% vs 5.0%, P < 0.001) and had higher STD costs ($960 vs $305, P < 0.001) than matched controls. The prevalence of serious injuries was twofold higher (17.1% vs 8.4%; P < 0.001).
conclusionsPatients with OSA and obesity have an elevated risk of STD and serious injuries versus matched controls. Both weight and OSA management have the potential to reduce the burden of OSA and thus have the potential to reduce the burden of STD and serious injuries.
