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

The systematic review was registered on the PROSPERO website (CRD42024558287). Our objective is to systematically summarise the clinical evidence of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with Obesity or/and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This analysis was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. 10 databases and registers Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, APA PsycInfo, Embase, Ovid, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Clinicaltrials.gov, and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) were retrieved from the establishment to July 14, 2024 for related randomized controlled trials (RCT) and non-RCTs. Data were extracted by two investigators separately, and only the RCTs were included in the quantitative synthesis. The outcome was operated by Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 15.0. Ten studies containing eight RCTs and two non-RCTs were included. The efficacy of the GLP-1 RA group in reducing apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was superior to that of the control group in patients with T2DM (MD = -5.68, 95%CI [-7.97, -3.38], P < 0.00001, I
