The relationship between sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and rapid eye movement obstructive sleep apnea (REM-OSA).
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe prevalence of rapid eye movement obstructive sleep apnea (REM-OSA) varies among reports. It remains unclear whether or not patients with REM-OSA experience more severe daytime sleepiness and poorer sleep quality than those with sleep-stage-independent obstructive sleep apnea (IND-OSA). We investigated the prevalence of REM-OSA in a Korean population sample and determined whether or not REM-OSA was associated with poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness.
methodIn this retrospective study. we defined "REM-OSA 1" as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5 and AHI
resultsAmong 483 patients, the prevalence rates of REM-OSA 1-3 were 10.3%, 5.5%, and 2.2% respectively. OSA severity was significantly lower in REM-OSA 1-3 than in IND-OSA. The proportion of women was significantly higher in REM-OSA 1-3 than IND-OSA groups. Patients with REM-OSA 2 and 3 had a significantly lower body mass index than those with IND-OSA. Patients with moderate-to-severe REM-OSA had significantly higher PSQI scores than those with IND-OSA. The AHI
conclusionsDespite the relatively low prevalence and severity of REM-OSA, it may reduce sleep quality and increase daytime sleepiness in some patients.
