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

backgroundGiven the robust correlation between MAFLD and OSA, FSI may act as a potential indicator for OSA risk. Nevertheless, the correlation between FSI and OSA, along with the potential mediating mechanisms, remains unclear.

methodsOur study examined 46,028 NHANES participants from 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to 2020. FSI-OSA correlation was assessed using weighted multivariate logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline curve analysis, threshold effects analysis, and subgroup analysis. We also conducted mediation studies to determine if waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) mediates the FSI-OSA relationship.

resultsEach unit increase in the FSI was associated with a 36% higher odds of OSA (OR = 1.36; 95% CI: 1.31-1.42). FSI quartiles were positively associated with OSA in aggregate analyses, with adjustment for potential confounders. RCS curves and threshold studies showed a nonlinear link between FSI and OSA risk when FSI was steeper on the left side of the inflection point (- 1.108) and levelled out on the right. WHtR also partially mediated the FSI-OSA connection, accounting for 24.5% of the total effect.

conclusionFSI and OSA were positively correlated with nonlinear and threshold effects in this study. Elevated FSI values were associated with a higher risk of OSA.
