ApEn for assessing hypoxemia severity in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome patients.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveA new index, approximate entropy (ApEn) of oxygen saturation, was used to assess the severity of hypoxemia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), determine the correlation with other parameters, and explore its clinical value.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 1200 patients with OSAHS and snorers (normal control). All subjects underwent sleep apnea monitoring for 6 h. Subjects were divided into four subgroups by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): normal control (AHI < 5), mild OSAHS (5 ≤ AHI < 15), moderate OSAHS (15 ≤ AHI < 30), and severe OSAHS 104 (AHI ≥ 30). ApEn was initially compared among the subgroups. Then a correlation analysis of AHI with ApEn and a correlation analysis of ApEn with oxygen desaturation index (ODI), lowest oxygen saturation (LO2), and T < 90% were performed. (2) The AHI was used as the gold standard, and an attempt was performed to determine the value of ApEn to assess the severity of hypoxemia in OSAHS.
resultsAmong the 1200 subjects, 822 subjects were men (72%) and mean age was 53.2 ± 15.2 years (range 24-95 years). The ApEn in each group was significantly different (P <0.001), and the ApEn synchronously increased with AHI. Furthermore, a significant difference in ApEn was found among the groups (P <0.001). In addition, ApEn had a good correlation with ODI, LO2, and T <90%. According to the ROC analysis results, the boundary value of ApEn to judge OSAHS patients with mild, moderate, and severe hypoxia was 16.72, 17.84, and 20.06, respectively.
conclusionApEn synchronously increased with the AHI and had a good correlation with AHI, ODI, LO2, and T <90%. These findings suggest that ApEn may have clinical value for assessing hypoxia severity in OSAHS patients.
