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

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is independently associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, and recent studies have shown that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves insulin sensitivity. The objective of this study was to describe the change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) after treatment with CPAP in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and OSA. To test this hypothesis, we performed a retrospective analysis of 38 patients seen in the sleep clinic of an urban public teaching hospital. All patients had OSA and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and their diabetic medication regimen had remained unchanged during the period of CPAP therapy. Sixty-one percent were men, body mass index was 42+/-9.5 kg/m(2), and the Apnea-Hypopnea Index was 53+/-36 per hour. HbA1c before therapy with CPAP was 7.8+/-1.4% and decreased to 7.3+/-1.3% after 134+/-119 days of therapy (p<0.001). Treatment with CPAP leads to a clinically significant drop in HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and severe OSA.
