Sleep disorders in combat-related PTSD.

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
purposeWe sought to assess the rate of sleep complaints and sleep disorders among active duty soldiers with deployment-related PTSD and to determine whether any clinical features differentiated those with sleep disorders.
methodsRetrospective review of consecutive soldiers diagnosed with PTSD. We recorded subjective measures of sleep and polysomnographic data. We compared clinical and demographic variables including psychoactive medication use, psychiatric comorbidity, and combat-related traumatic injury with the presence of sleep disorders.
resultsOne hundred thirty patients were included (91.5 % male, mean age of 35.1 ± 10.6 years, mean body mass index (BMI) 28.9 ± 4.4 Kg/m(2)). About 88.5 % had comorbid depression, with the majority (96.2 %) taking psychoactive medications (mean 3.4 ± 1.6 medications per patient). Over half of the cohort suffered combat-related traumatic physical injuries (54.6 %). The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was diagnosed in 67.3 % (80 % of the cohort underwent polysomnography), with a mean apnea hypopnea index of 24.1 ± 22.8 events/hour and a mean oxygen saturation nadir of 84.2 ± 5.7 %. OSAS was significantly more common in the non-injured soldiers (72.9 vs. 38.0 %, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, absence of physical injury showed a trend towards predicting OSAS.
conclusionsSleep complaints are common among soldiers with PTSD. We observed significantly higher rates of OSAS among those without physical injuries, raising the possibility that underlying sleep-disordered breathing is a risk factor for the development of PTSD. This potential association requires further validation.
