Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Adherence to CPAP for TAXI Drivers.

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
We investigated the effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) on blood pressure (BP) and vigilance in taxi drivers with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This pilot study recruited taxi drivers aged ≥60 years to undergo polysomnography. Those diagnosed with OSA underwent 6 months of CPAP therapy. Baseline and follow-up assessments included 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and the psychomotor vigilance test (PVT). Among the 32 participants, 22 (68.8%) were diagnosed with OSA (median age 63.0 [62.0-65.0] years; 21 males). The average CPAP adherence was 3.1 ± 2.3 h per night, with 23.5% using CPAP for more than 4 h per night. There were no significant changes in 24 h mean systolic ABPM (125.9 [116.8-134.9] mmHg to 126.0 [118.3-133.7] mmHg;
