Clinical characteristics of obstructive sleep apnoea patients with residual sleepiness.
Review in ERJ open research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: This meta-analysis examines the clinical characteristics of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-treated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients with residual excessive sleepiness (RES). Method: We conducted a search for articles published from inception to 16 March 2024 in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Seven studies were included in this meta-analysis. Results: The meta-analysis revealed that CPAP-treated OSA patients with RES were characterised by higher Epworth sleepiness scale and depression scale scores, lower body mass index (BMI) and apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) before CPAP treatment. RES patients also exhibit poorer CPAP adherence. Being female was also associated with RES. Conclusion: Being female, having lower BMI and AHI, more severe daytime sleepiness and depressive symptoms before CPAP treatment, and lower CPAP adherence were characteristics of OSA patients with RES. These factors may prove helpful in identifying CPAP-treated OSA patients who may need additional treatment to minimise RES.
