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

STUDY

objectivesAsthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are very prevalent disorders. Their coexistence in the same individual has an unclear effect on natural history and long-term outcomes.

methodsThe OLDOSA (Obstructive Lung Disease and Obstructive Sleep Apnea) cohort enrolled 4,980 veterans with an acute hospitalization and in whom asthma, COPD, OSA, overlapping conditions, or none of these disorders at baseline had been diagnosed. Pulmonary function, polysomnography, positive airway pressure (PAP) recommendations and adherence, and vital status were collected and analyzed. Various proportional hazards models were built for patients with OSA to test the effect of PAP therapy on survival.

resultsTen-year all-cause cumulative mortality rate was 52.8%; median time to death was 2.7 years. In nonoverlapping asthma, OSA and COPD, mortality rates were 54.2%, 60.4%, and 63.0%, respectively. The overlap syndromes had the following mortality: COPD-OSA 53.2%, asthma-COPD 62.1%, asthma-OSA 63.5%, and triple overlap asthma-COPD-OSA 67.8%. In patients with OSA not on PAP therapy, after adjustment for age, comorbidities, and lung function, risk of death was 1.34 (1.05-1.71) times higher than those undergoing treatment. Similarly, in patients with OSA nonadherent to PAP therapy the adjusted risk of death was 1.78 (1.13-2.82) times higher versus those using it at least 70% of nights and more than 4 hours nightly.

conclusionsIn this large longitudinal cohort of hospitalized veterans with high comorbid burden, asthma, COPD, OSA and their overlap syndromes had very high long-term mortality. In patients with OSA, PAP initiation and superior therapeutic adherence were associated with significantly better survival.
