Sex Differences in Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis.
Article in Journal of clinical neurology (Seoul, Korea), 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
background and purposeObesity is known of one of the risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Although body mass index (BMI) can be an indicator for obesity, it does not represent the actual body composition of fat or muscle. We hypothesized that bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can help analyze the fat and muscle distributions in males and females with OSA.
methodsThis study screened subjects who visited the Department of Neurology, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea due to sleep disturbances with symptoms suggestive of OSA from December 2017 to December 2019. All subjects underwent overnight type I polysomnography (PSG) and BIA.
resultsPSG and BIA were completed in 2,064 OSA patients who had an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥5/hour (77.1% males and 22.9% females). The females had remarkably higher fat indicators and lower muscle indicators. The AHI was significant correlated with all BIA parameters in all OSA patients: body fat mass (ρ=0.286,
conclusionsThis study has revealed that the body composition of fat and muscle has different patterns in OSA patients. The SMM/VFA as measured using BIA is the factor most significantly associated with AHI in males but not in females after adjusting for age and BMI.
