Cognitive Impairment and Depressive Symptoms in a Patient With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Full Recovery After CPAP Treatment.

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
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms, including cognitive impairment and depression. It is important to be aware of this association since these comorbid symptoms may be misdiagnosed as a primary psychiatric condition. We report a case of a 60-year-old man with depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment, with important deficits in memory and great functional impairment. There was no response to many antidepressant trials and, later, he underwent polysomnography and was diagnosed with severe OSA. The patient started treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and showed progressive improvement in depressive and cognitive symptoms. During one year of follow-up, there was no recurrence of psychiatric symptoms and the patient was able to stop antidepressants and to recover his functionality. This case highlights the importance of searching for OSA signals when assessing patients with depressive and cognitive symptoms, since they may improve with OSA adequate treatment.
