Retinochoroidal structural alterations in obstructive sleep apnea: A spectral domain optical coherence tomography study.
Article in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to analyze retinochoroidal parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and evaluate their relationship with disease severity. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study included 60 OSAS patients diagnosed by overnight polysomnography and 60 age-matched healthy controls. The OSAS group was subdivided based on apnea-hypopnea index into mild (
resultsOSAS patients showed significant thinning in average RNFL (94.7 ± 7.84 μm vs. 98.93 ± 7.67 μm, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.43-7.03,
conclusionSignificant retinochoroidal alterations occur in OSAS patients, with changes correlating to disease severity. The distinctive pattern of retinal layer thinning, particularly in superotemporal RNFL and superior GC-IPL, demonstrates an association with OSAS severity.
