The effect of continuous positive airway pressure on circulating malondialdehyde among obstructive sleep apnea patients: a meta-analysis.

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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been demonstrated to be associated with an increase of oxidative stress. However, whether circulating malondialdehyde (MDA), a widely used biomarker of oxidative stress, could be reduced by the treatment of OSA by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is debated. The present meta-analysis was performed to determine the effect of CPAP treatment on circulating MDA among patients with OSA.
methodsA systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was performed for literature covering the period between 1967 and August 2019. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated to estimate the treatment effects of pre- and post-CPAP therapy.
resultsA total of 10 studies with 220 patients were included in this meta-analysis. A significant decrease in circulating MDA was observed after CPAP treatment (SMD = 1.164, 95% CI = 0.443 to 1.885, z = 3.16, p = 0.002) in OSA patients. Subgroup analyses revealed that CPAP therapy was associated with a significant decrease of circulating MDA in elder (SMD = 1.629, 95% CI = 0.265 to 2.994, z = 2.34, p = 0.019), more obese patients (SMD = 0.954, 95% CI = 0.435 to 1.473, z = 3.61, p = 0.000), more severe OSA patients (SMD = 0.879, 95% CI = 0.421 to 1.336, z = 3.76, p = 0.000), patients with therapeutic duration ≥ 3 months (SMD = 1.867, 95% CI = 0.563 to 3.172, z = 2.80, p = 0.005), and patients with good compliance (SMD = 1.004, 95% CI = 0.703 to 1.305, z = 6.54, p = 0.000).
conclusionsThis meta-analysis suggested that CPAP therapy exerted significant lowering effects on circulating MDA, especially in elder, more obese, and more severe OSA patients and patients with good compliance as well as longer duration of CPAP application.
