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

purposeIndividuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have an altered hemostatic balance; however, the exercise response is less described. The purpose of this study is to determine the hemostatic response after acute aerobic exercise in obstructive sleep apnea.

methodsEighteen males (nine OSA vs. nine controls) were recruited from the university and local community. Individuals with evidence of cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disease were excluded. An apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of >5 was a criterion for OSA. Subjects performed a treadmill exercise test at 35 and 70% predicted VO

resultsMean AHI was 13.00 ± 12.6. No exercise × condition interactions were observed for hemostatic markers. There was a main effect for exercise in factor VIII, tPA antigen, and tPA activity in both groups. PAI-1 activity tended to be elevated in OSA (145%) compared to controls which remained after exercise (205%) (P = 0.05). Post-exercise FVIII/Ag correlated with BMI (r = 0.52), while resting tPA/Ag correlated with AHI (r = 0.49) and age (r = 0.50).

conclusionThe hemostatic response after acute aerobic exercise is unaffected in mild OSA, although PAI-1 activity seems to be elevated, reducing fibrinolytic potential. BMI seems to correlate with FVIII/Ag, while tPA/Ag is associated with AHI and age.
