Obstructive Sleep Apnea Disrupts Glycemic Control in Obese Individuals.
Article in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity, and their common comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM) or cardiovascular diseases, is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association of OSA severity in obese individuals with polysomnography-based sleep parameters, as well as C-reactive protein (CRP) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) serum levels. Polysomnographic recordings and blood samples were retrospectively compared between a group of 23 adult obese individuals with mild OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) = 7.5 (5.5-12.5)/h, age = 42.57 ± 11.44 years, 16 male, 7 female, body mass index (BMI) = 37.35 ± 3.88 kg/m²) and an age-, sex-, and BMI-matched group of individuals with moderate or severe OSA (AHI 41.5 (25.7-71.8)/h, age = 43.43 ± 11.96 years, 16 male, 7 female, BMI = 37.87 ± 4.74 kg/m²). All respiratory sleep-associated parameters were significantly higher in individuals with moderate and severe OSA compared to those with mild OSA. CRP levels did not differ between the two OSA severity groups. However, serum levels of HbA1c were significantly higher in the moderate/severe OSA group. Therefore, OSA severity may have a significant impact on glycemic control in obese individuals. Additionally, OSA severity did not appear to be further associated with systemic inflammation in obese individuals. Obese individuals may benefit not only from lifestyle modification, but also from OSA screening and treatment, particularly to prevent DM-associated disorders and conditions.
