Characteristics of rapid eye movement-related obstructive sleep apnea in Thai patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. 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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that has been associated with cardiovascular consequences. Rapid eye movement (REM)-related obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a subtype of OSA which is characterized by apneas or hypopneas predominately during REM sleep. The factors associated with REM-related OSA are still unclear. We aimed to determine the prevalence and associated characteristics of REM-related OSA in Thai patients. A total of 408 patients' charts were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic and anthropometric characteristics, comorbidities and polysomnographic data were obtained. The patients were divided into two groups: REM-related OSA and non-stage specific OSA. REM-related OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 5 per hour, with a ratio of REM-AHI to NREM-AHI > 2, and NREM-AHI < 15 per hour. The prevalence of REM-related OSA was 21.6%. AHI and arousal index were both lower in REM-related OSA than in non-stage specific OSA. REM-related OSA was significantly associated with females (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.25-4.42, p = 0.008), age < 60 years (OR 2.52, 95% CI 1.15-5.55, p = 0.021), and mild OSA (OR 17.46, 95% CI 9.28-32.84, p < 0.001). In conclusion, age < 60 years, female gender, and mild severity of OSA were associated with REM-related OSA.
