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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study examines associations between the risk of sleep apnea and abdominal obesity (assessed by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)) and general obesity (assessed by body mass index (BMI)) in a sample of Chinese and Korean American immigrants.

methodsThe dataset included Chinese and Korean participants aged 50-75 who were recruited from primary care physicians' clinics from April 2018 to June 2020 in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. Metropolitan area (n = 394). Abdominal obesity was determined if WHR ≥ 0.9 in men and WHR ≥ 0.85 in women. General obesity was determined if BMI ≥ 30. The risk of sleep apnea was determined by using the Berlin questionnaire. Poisson regression models examined associations between sleep apnea risk and obesity. Models controlled for socio-demographic risk factors.

resultsTwelve percent of the study participants were classified as a high risk for sleep apnea, and 75% had abdominal obesity whereas 6.4% had general obesity. High risk of sleep apnea was positively associated with abdominal obesity (PR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.17-1.47) and general obesity (PR = 2.19, 95% CI: 0.90-5.32), marginally significant at p < 0.1).

conclusionsChinese and Korean immigrants living in the USA who are at high risk of sleep apnea have higher abdominal obesity, even after accounting for sociodemographic characteristics. Abdominal obesity may be a better indicator than general obesity when examining the risk of sleep apnea among Asian Americans.
