Long-term outcomes regarding arterial stiffness and carotid artery atherosclerosis in female patients with rapid eye movement obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveRapid eye movement (REM) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with the risk of cardiovascular events. Arterial stiffness and carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) predict these events, but few relevant studies have been conducted. We compared long-term changes in arterial stiffness and IMT between patients with REM OSA and non-REM (NREM) OSA receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or oral appliance (OA) therapy.
methodsNewly diagnosed female patients with OSA received CPAP (n = 6) or OA (n = 7). Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and carotid artery ultrasound were performed before and 60 months after treatment.
resultsThere were no differences in baseline characteristics (mean age: 56.0 vs. 61.3 years; mean body mass index: 22.6 vs. 21.7 kg/m
conclusionArterial stiffness and glucose metabolism are deteriorated in patients with REM OSA compared with these parameters in patients with non-REM OSA after CPAP or OA treatment.
