Rating Scales for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: The Importance of a Comprehensive Assessment.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by cyclical apnea states during sleep, caused by alterations in the dilatory muscles of the pharynx and tongue. It is an underestimated and underappreciated disorder, which can affect a person's health and quality of life, as well as trigger the onset of several other systemic diseases. Patients diagnosed with OSAS present with clinical pictures that are not always easy to distinguish and may be associated with multiple comorbidities. This heterogeneity makes early diagnosis difficult and complicates not only the resolution of sleep apnea but also the balancing of clinical priorities. Various OSAS assessment and classification scales exist in the literature, as early diagnosis is essential for more effective treatment. This narrative review article reviews the assessment scales for OSAS and briefly discusses the pathologies that may be encountered in the presence of this syndrome. Early detection of OSAS not only means early clinical intervention but also means preventing pre-existing pathologies from worsening.
