Association between snoring and insulin levels in the US population: a cross-sectional study.

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
purposeSnoring may cause a number of problems such as tiredness, obesity, and even severe diseases, but the correlation between snoring and insulin secretion, which has important clinical significance, has rarely been studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between snoring frequency and insulin secretion and discuss the potential mechanisms, thereby estimating the health condition of β-cells of individuals who snore.
methodsThe analyses used data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2015 to 2018. A regression analysis was performed for snoring frequency and insulin concentration, and then multiple regression analyses excluded various factors related to insulin secretion, including age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI), factors indicating patients' nutritional condition, and symptoms possibly implying obstructive sleep apnea. Subsequently, three hierarchical multiple regression analyses were carried out respectively based on sex, race, and BMI.
resultsAfter adjusting for confounding variables, snoring frequency was correlated with insulin concentration especially when snoring was at relatively high frequencies (e.g., more than 5 nights per week) (β = 1.77, 95%CI = 0.42-3.13, P = 0.010). The stratification analyses showed that high snoring frequency increased insulin secretion among women (β = 1.83, 95%CI = 0.05-3.62, P = 0.044), Hispanics (β = 3.28, 95%CI = 0.05-6.51, P = 0.047), and participants with BMI in the range > 30 kg/m
conclusionOur results suggest that snoring is likely to relate to an increase in insulin when severe, especially in women, Hispanics, and people with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m
