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

backgroundDyslipidaemia is well recognised in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and could contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality better than the individual lipid levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the AIP in patients with OSA in relation with disease severity.

methodsFour hundred sixty-one patients with OSA and 99 controls participated in this study. AIP was assessed in the morning following a diagnostic sleep study. The association between lipid values and OSA were adjusted for age, gender, and body mass index.

resultsPatients with OSA had higher AIP and triglyceride, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (all

conclusionsAIP is elevated in OSA and is related to disease severity. However, it does not seem to have an additional clinical value compared to HDL-C.
