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

backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects nearly one billion people globally and poses a substantial public health threat. Effective and accessible methods for OSA risk identification are urgently needed.

objectiveThis study aims to develop and externally validate a machine learning model derived from multi-parameter pulse oximetry (SpO

methodsOf 4156 screened participants, 2195 underwent polysomnography (internal cohort) and 446 received home sleep apnea testing (external cohort). Eight SpO

resultsNonlinear parameter-risk relationships were observed between oximetry indices and OSA probability. The 4-parameter ODI-HB-MinSpO

conclusionsThe multi-parameter oximetry model based on the categorical boosting algorithm provides a simple and accurate tool for OSA screening. Sex- and age-stratified strategies can further enhance its clinical applicability.
