Preliminary study on clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, the clinical characteristics, and the possible predictors of Chinese patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) according to the Amsterdam Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea Classification (APOC).
methodsA retrospective study in the sleep unit of Peking Union Medical College Hospital was conducted to analyze the clinical and polysomnography data of Chinese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
resultsOf 372 patients with OSA, 54% met the APOC criteria for POSA. The prevalence of POSA was significantly higher in women with OSA than in men. Chinese patients with POSA had a lower apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index, and the percentage of time spent at oxygen saturation below 90% in total sleep time; and a higher mean oxygen saturation (SaO
conclusionAccording to the APOC, the prevalence of POSA is high in Chinese patients with OSA, especially in women. Chinese patients with POSA had less severe OSA and a lower degree of nocturnal hypoxia, which was remarkable in the APOC I group.
