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

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common after stroke and may negatively influence recovery, yet it is frequently underdiagnosed. Portable respiratory monitoring devices could facilitate early SDB screening in these patients. We estimated the prevalence of sleep apnea (SA) using a smartphone-based monitoring system in post-stroke patients and examined associations between respiratory indices, stroke severity and disability (NIHSS, mRS), and rehabilitation outcomes (motor and cognitive Functional Independence Measure; FIM). Consecutive patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation within three months after a stroke underwent an overnight assessment with a smartphone-based respiratory monitoring device, which estimated the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), mean and minimum SpO
