Smoking history and its relationship with comorbidities in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

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
introductionCurrent knowledge on the correlation between smoking and comorbidities associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is limited. This study evaluated the smoking history of OSA patients and analyzed the association between smoking and OSA comorbidities.
methodsRetrospective analysis was performed in newly diagnosed OSA patients in our hospital, a tertiary medical center, from January 2016 to December 2019. In all, 1021 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups, non-smokers (n=796) and current/former smokers (n=225), in order to compare their clinical manifestations and polysomnographic results and to analyze the association between smoking and comorbidities.
resultsCompared with the non-smokers, the current/former smokers had higher Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) scores (9.3 ± 4.0 vs 8.5 ± 5.1; p<0.05), longer sleep latency (SL) [20.5 (12.3-39.3) vs 18.5 (10.0-34.0) minutes; p<0.05], and a lower nocturnal mean oxygen saturation (91.8 ± 3.6% vs 92.8 ± 3.4%; p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) between the two groups. OSA patients with a history of smoking had significantly increased risk of hypertension (OR=2.09; 95% CI: 1.46- 3.01), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (OR=9.80; 95% CI: 4.73-20.33), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (OR=1.97; 95% CI: 1.19-3.27), and chronic pharyngitis (OR=1.83; 95% CI: 1.32-2.54).
conclusionsNo significant association was found between previous smoking history and current OSA severity. OSA patients with a history of smoking had an increased risk of hypertension, COPD, GERD, and chronic pharyngitis.
