Response of Blood Parameters to CPAP Treatment in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in Noro psikiyatri arsivi, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 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
introductionMany studies have evaluated the relationship between the NLR and PLR in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and have shown that they are related to inflammation. We evaluated whether 3 months of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with moderate to severe OSA without any comorbidities would affect the NLR and PLR values.
methodsFull blood count parameters were evaluated before and after 3 months of CPAP treatment in patients with a diagnosis of moderate to severe OSA without any comorbidities.
resultsTwenty-nine patients (18 [62.1%] males) were enrolled. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 34.85±5.75 kg/m2, the apnea-hypopnea index score was 49.85±27.42, and CPAP was 9.34±1.77. No significant change in BMI was observed after the third month of treatment. Although the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score decreased significantly (p=0.000), no changes were observed in the NLR, PLR, or C-reactive protein level (p>0.05). Mean platelet volume and red blood cell distribution width changed significantly after treatment (p=0.01; p<0.001).
conclusionsThe NLR and PLR did not change after CPAP treatment in patients with moderate to severe OSA without any comorbidities.
