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: This study assessed the connection between vertigo severity and OSA. Material and methods: 111 patients (78 men and 33 women, 48.35 ± 9.24 years) patients with OSA accompanied by vertigo were included in the investigation. These patients underwent respiratory polygraphy, and completed self-reported questionnaires, including the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) questionnaires. Results: In the study, 25.2% of the patients did not have OSA, 40.5% presented with mild symptoms, 9.9% had moderate symptoms, and 24.3% exhibited severe OSA symptoms. Although the difference in DHI scores based on OSA severity was statistically insignificant ( Conclusions: Our analysis indicates a connection between the severity of vertigo symptoms and the severity of OSA. Additionally, the significant correlation between psychiatric symptoms and OSA severity emphasises the need to consider these factors when managing OSA patients in everyday practice.
