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

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common in Australia but underexamined among First Nations peoples. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 1563 adult sleep studies in South East Queensland (2022-2023). Thirty-eight participants (2.4%) identified as First Nations, of whom 74% had OSA. Comorbidities were more frequent among the First Nations cohort, though small sample size limited certainty. These findings reveal both under-identification of First Nations status and a substantial OSA burden, emphasising the need for culturally informed, community-led approaches to OSA care in Queensland.
