Assessment of the relationship between polysomnography parameters and plasma malondialdehyde levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe relationship of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) with major parameters of PSG was investigated to find out if there was a correlation between these variables.
methodsPolysomnograms were done on a total of 37 adults who do not have a history of any systemic illness, smoking, and supplement use. Plasma MDA measurements and their relationship with PSG parameters were analyzed.
resultsThe mean MDA concentrations in patients with lower AHI values were also lower than those in the patients with higher AHI (p < 0.001). Higher predominance of apnea in patients with similar AHI values, longer mean apnea durations, O
conclusionsHigher oxidative stress measurements predicted more severe clinical picture. These findings show that oxidative stress measurement with MDA may provide a simple tool to screen patients for OSA and help select them for PSG study appropriately, if indicated.
