U-Shaped Relationship Between MSpO
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated a significant correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and frailty. However, the association of mean pulse oxygen saturation (MSpO Methods: A total of 1006 elderly patients diagnosed with OSA through polysomnography (PSG) from January 2015 to October 2017 were enrolled. Patients were stratified into four groups according to their MSpO Results: Over a median follow-up period of 52 months, 275 patients developed frailty. Analysis using restricted cubic splines revealed a U-shaped trend between MSpO Conclusion: There is a U-shaped association between MSpO
