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

Objectives: Weight loss is often recommended for individuals with obesity and OSA, however, weight loss is particularly hard for this population. This study investigates how weight and weight change are associated with sleep health in people with OSA. Methods: Sleep data were analyzed from participants ( Results: Participants were middle-aged (51 ± 10 years), living with obesity (32.6 ± 4.4 kg/m Conclusions: Higher weight was associated with worse sleep regularity. However, weight change was not associated with improvements in sleep regularity. Our findings demonstrate an association between weight and poor sleep in people with OSA, but the relationship is likely complex.
