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

Sleep apnea is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by recurrent cessations or reductions in airflow during sleep. It significantly impacts the quality of life, yet current diagnostic methods like polysomnography (PSG) are expensive and uncomfortable, limiting accessibility and ease of use. We developed a novel non-contact biosensing system using secondary laser speckle pattern analysis and dedicated image processing algorithms for apnea-like breathing cessations. The proposed method was tested on 14 healthy subjects with diverse body characteristics, aged 22-50 years (mean 33.1 ± 9.3 years) and body mass index (BMI) ranging from 19.6 to 28.7 kg/m
