Impact of home CPAP-treated obstructive sleep apnea on COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized patients.

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
STUDY
objectivesTo investigate the association between moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea treated with home continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
methodsRetrospective study of patients admitted for COVID-19. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea treated with home CPAP were identified and for each of them we selected 5 patients admitted consecutively in the following hours. The main outcome of the study was the development of severe COVID-19, defined as 1) death or 2) a composite outcome of death or the presence of severe hypoxemic respiratory failure at or during admission. The association between CPAP-treated obstructive sleep apnea and these outcomes was estimated by logistic regression analysis after applying inverse probability of treatment weighting using a propensity score-weighting approach.
resultsOf the 2,059 patients admitted, 81 (3.9%) were receiving treatment with home CPAP. Among the 486 patients included in the study, 19% died and 39% presented the composite outcome. The logistic regression analysis did not show an association of CPAP treatment either with death (odds ratio [OR]: 0.684; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.332-1.409;
conclusionsIn hospitalized patients with COVID-19, prior obstructive sleep apnea treated with home CPAP is not independently associated with worse outcomes. CITATION: Sampol J, Sáez M, Martí S, et al. Impact of home CPAP-treated obstructive sleep apnea on COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized patients.
