Analysis of the proportion and clinical characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

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
purposeTo investigate the proportion and clinical characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Chinese patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) through home sleep apnea test (HSAT) and to evaluate the reproductive endocrine and metabolic characteristics in these patients.
methodsThe study was a cross-sectional analysis of infertile PCOS patients who underwent sleep respiratory monitoring between January and December 2019 at Peking University Third Hospital Reproductive Medical Center and respiratory and critical care medicine department. The prevalence of OSA, body mass index (BMI), menstruation, reproductive endocrine, and metabolic characteristics were collected in patients with PCOS. Logistic regression was performed to identify significant relationships among these factors and OSA.
resultsAmont 328 patients with PCOS, the prevalence of OSA was 40% (131/328), and six cases (5%) were severe. Univariate analysis showed that BMI and blood pressure were significantly higher in patients with OSA than in those without OSA (P < 0.05), whereas the anti-Mullerian hormone was lower than that in patients without OSA. In terms of glucose and lipid metabolism, the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose, and fasting insulin levels were significantly higher in patients with PCOS and comorbid OSA than in those without OSA (all P < 0.05). Patients with OSA also had higher triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that higher BMI, elevated serum testosterone, and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are correlated with occurrence of OSA (P < 0.05).
conclusionOSA in patients with PCOS was associated with multiple alterations in indexes of reproductive endocrine and metabolic disorders.
