Bidirectional Association Between Psoriasis and Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
The link between psoriasis and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has not been confirmed. We aimed to investigate the relationship between psoriasis and OSA. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control, cross-sectional, and cohort studies on the association between psoriasis and OSA. We searched MEDLINE and Embase for relevant studies on May 11, 2019. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the risk of bias of included studies. We performed random-effects model meta-analysis to calculate pooled odds ratio (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for case-control and cross-sectional studies as well as pooled incidence rate ratio (IRR) with 95% CIs for cohort studies in association between psoriasis and OSA. A total of 4 case-control or cross-sectional studies and 3 cohort studies with a total of 5,840,495 subjects were included. We identified a significantly increased odds for OSA in psoriasis patients (pooled OR 2.60; 95% CI 1.07-6.32), and significantly increased risk for psoriasis in OSA patients (pooled IRR 2.52; 95% CI 1.89-3.36). In conclusion, our study identified a bidirectional association between psoriasis and OSA. Sleep quality should be inquired in patients with psoriasis. Respirologist consultation or polysomnography may be indicated for those presenting with night snoring, recurrent awaking, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
