Impact of Gender on Symptoms and Comorbidities in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in The Eurasian journal of medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is more common in men than in women. In this study, we aimed to address the impact of gender on symptoms and comorbidities in patients with OSA. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,317 consecutive patients, who were admitted to the Sleep Apnea Clinic of the Marmara University Hospital between November 2015 and October 2018, and who completed questionnaires and a sleep study with cardiorespiratory polygraphy. OSA was defined as Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) ≥15/hour.
resultsIn all, 1,042 patients (334 women) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. OSA was observed in 589 patients (56.5%). Women were older than men (50.2±12.5 versus 45.6±15.1 years) and had lower AHI (22.1±20.1 versus 26.8±21.9 events/h). In the OSA group, women were older (53.7±11.5 versus 47.8±12.8 years) and more obese (BMI 34.6 versus 31.8 kg/m
conclusionFatigue, nocturia, headache, depressive mood, restless leg, and comorbidities were observed more in women. OSA-related symptoms develop late and/or the referral of women for diagnostic evaluation of OSA is delayed. Symptoms and comorbidities in women should be evaluated more attentively for earlier referral and diagnosis of OSA.
