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

purposeTo examine the association between the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and atopic dermatitis (AD), in addition to the dose-response relationship between the risk of OSA and the prevalence of AD.

methodsThis study analyzed data from 15,095 participants aged ≥ 40 years who were part of the 2019-2022 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). AD was assessed using self-reported questionnaires, and the risk of OSA was determined using the STOP-BANG score. Demographic distributions were analyzed by using χ² tests, whereas adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The weighted prevalence of AD and 95% CIs were calculated to account for the complex sampling design of KNHANES.

resultsMultivariable logistic regression revealed a significant association between OSA risk and AD, with an OR of 2.159 (95% CI, 1.456-3.202). The weighted prevalence of AD increased with higher OSA risk, from 1.43% in the low-risk group to 1.74% in the intermediate-risk group, and 2.17% in the high-risk group (

conclusionsOSA risk was significantly associated with AD prevalence, having a dose-response relationship. Given the observed associations, incorporating OSA management into clinical strategies may warrant further investigation as a potential avenue for mitigating AD-related risk.
