Combined effect of obstructive sleep apnea and chronic smoking on cognitive impairment.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
objectivesLittle is known about combined effect of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic smoking on cognitive impairment. We aimed to determine whether smoking synergizes with OSA in deteriorating cognitive function and whether smoking cessation contributes to cognitive benefits.
methodsOne hundred and eighteen male patients were enrolled in the study and asked to complete neurocognitive function tests including Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), clock drawing test (CDT), and verbal fluency test (VFT). Variables of those neurocognitive function tests were analyzed with two factors: OSA and smoking.
resultsAfter adjustment of potential confounding factors, an OSA-by-smoking interaction was found in CDT-C scores and a main smoking effect were showed in MoCA scores. Smoking patients with OSA had the worst performance in the four tests compared with the other three groups (smoking patients without OSA, non-smoking patients with and without OSA). Ex-smokers with OSA tended to perform better than current smokers, but still worse than never-smokers with OSA in those tests.
conclusionThe results suggested that the coexistence of OSA and chronic smoking resulted in more pronounced cognitive deficits than either factor along. Smoking cessation may benefit cognitive function to some extents in patients with OSA.
