Qualitative Phenotyping of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Its Clinical Usefulness for the Sleep Specialist.
Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionThe anatomical collapsibility of the upper airway, neuromuscular tone and function, sleep-wake and ventilatory control instability, and the arousal threshold all interact and contribute to certain pathophysiologic features that characterize different types of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A model of qualitative phenotypizationallowsus to characterize the different pathophysiological traits in OSA patients.
methodsA narrative review was performed, to analyze the available literature evidence, with the purpose of generating a model of qualitative phenotypization to characterize pathophysiological traits in patients with OSA.
results96 out of 3829 abstracts were selected for full-text review. Qualitative phenotyping model of OSA:Data concerning the OSA qualitative pathophysiological traits' measurement can be deducted by means of clinical PSG, grade of OSA severity, and therapeutic level of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and are reported in the text. This approach would allow qualitative phenotyping with widely accessible methodology in a routine clinical scenario and is of particular interest for the sleep specialist, surgical treatment decision-making, and customized OSA multimodality treatment.
