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

purposeAlthough obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is known to be an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, the mechanism behind this association has not been fully elucidated. Transendothelial migration of monocytes mediated by adhesion molecules is a crucial step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We investigated the effect of hypoxic stress on plasma adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels and whether adiponectin and TNF-α modulate adhesion molecules in patients with OSAS.

methodsIn 22 patients, plasma adiponectin and TNF-α levels and serum concentrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) were determined early in the morning after polysomnography and after nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) treatment.

resultsPlasma adiponectin levels were inversely correlated with the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (r = -0.582, p < 0.005) and % time in SpO2 <90 % (r = -0.539, p < 0.01) but not with the body mass index (BMI). TNF-α levels were positively correlated with the AHI (r = 0.462, p < 0.05) and BMI (r = 0.452, p < 0.05). Serum sICAM-1 levels were inversely correlated with plasma adiponectin levels (r = -0.476, p < 0.05) but not with TNF-α levels. Although plasma TNF-α levels decreased after overnight nCPAP treatment (p < 0.05), plasma adiponectin levels increased after long-term nCPAP (3 months) treatment (p < 0.02) in ten patients.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that reduced adiponectin and elevated TNF-α levels in plasma are associated with OSAS-induced hypoxic stress. Decreased adiponectin levels are associated with sICAM-1 levels.
