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

Introduction: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is linked to adverse cardiometabolic and safety outcomes, but established correlates may not apply to postmenopausal women. Data on polysomnographic determinants of EDS in this group remain limited. We examined associations between polysomnographic parameters and EDS and identified key parameters that may help discriminate EDS in postmenopausal women with OSA. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 216 postmenopausal women with OSA, confirmed by Level 1 polysomnography (PSG), were classified as having EDS based on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS 10; Results: Women with EDS were younger and had higher BMI and neck circumference than those without EDS ( Discussion: EDS was more frequent among women with greater respiratory burden and worse nocturnal hypoxemia. Future studies using multidimensional data may improve model performance and clinical applicability.
