[Sonographic evaluation of anatomic landmarks in patients with obstructive sleep apnea].
Article in HNO, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn recent years, new key factors in the genesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have been described. This has led to investigation of individualized therapeutic approaches in sleep medicine. The aim of the current study is assessment of the upper respiratory tract by sonographic measurement of various anatomic landmarks. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients with rhonchopathy as well as OSA of different severity were included and compared to healthy volunteers. All patients underwent polygraphy for assessment of nocturnal respiratory disorders. Different landmarks were defined (extension of the tongue, thickness of the pharynx, hyoid bone-thyroid cartilage distance, extension of the geniohyoid muscle) which should be measured sonographically.
resultsA total of 155 patients were enrolled and assigned to one of five groups (control; rhonchopathy; mild, moderate, and severe OSA). There were significant differences in the parameters for measuring tongue size, the distance between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage, and the thickness of the pharynx between the groups.
conclusionAs part of this sonographic assessment of the upper respiratory tract, landmarks could be identified in patients with OSA that correlated with the severity of the disease.
