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 apnea is a common yet under-recognized condition. 80% of sleep apnea cases go undiagnosed, and it is a common contributor to sudden death. Therefore, a simple and sensitive screening tool is the need of the hour. We developed a simple, more convenient, and user-friendly 3-question screening tool to identify individuals at risk of obstructive sleep apnea.
