Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Obesity: Implications for Public Health.
Article in Sleep medicine and disorders : international journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 159 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 a global disease with a rising incidence along with its comorbidities, especially with metabolic syndrome. One of the main components contributing to sleep apnea is obesity; as well as diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM), hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. OSA is a condition that requires management and the disease can be treated by using CPAP therapy. The awareness of this global issue is rising, and health care systems are providing preventive measures, diagnosis and the treatment options. The major preventable risk factors to decrease obesity are the awareness of lifestyle modification (eating behaviors, smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.) and understanding the importance of exercise. If these lifestyle modifications are widely applied, then not only will the consequences of obesity and sleep apnea be reduced, but also the incidence of cardiovascular disease will decrease greatly. Public awareness of the importance of weight loss by lifestyle modification or bariatric surgery to improve the quality of life is needed. These preventive actions, screening measures, and treatment strategies for obesity and OSA can significantly reduce the incidence of obesity, as well as OSA and the related comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and depression. Finally, health care costs will also be reduced.
