The Burden of Associated Comorbidities in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Regional Differences in Two Central-Eastern European Sleep Centers.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is usually associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and depression. Data on relevant OSA-associated comorbidities in Central-European populations are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of comorbidities in two OSA cohorts from Hungary and Romania.
methodsData from 588 (282 from Hungary, 306 from Romania) untreated patients with OSA were retrospectively analyzed. The prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), osteoporosis, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease, arrhythmia and depression were compared between the two populations following adjustment for demographics, body mass index, smoking history, comorbidities and sleep parameters.
resultsThe prevalence rates of hypertension, arrhythmia, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease, diabetes and COPD in the whole study population were directly related to the severity of OSA. We found an inverse correlation between the prevalence of osteoporosis and OSA severity (all
conclusionsThere was no difference in the prevalence rate of most comorbidities in patients with OSA from the two cohorts, except for dyslipidemia, asthma, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
