The upper airway in obstructive sleep apnoea: state of the art.
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
The upper airway is a complex structure, prone to repetitive collapse in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This review discusses the pathophysiological aspects of OSA, with a focus on the anatomy and pathophysiology of upper airway obstruction. This disorder is characterised by different mechanisms that constitute its pathology, which may all contribute to apnoea presence and severity. These include pharyngeal anatomy, collapsibility, upper airway muscle responsiveness, loop gain and arousal threshold. Identification of interindividual differences in the underlying mechanisms of OSA offers promise for a more targeted approach to OSA management.
