Association Between Sleep Efficiency and Hypertension in Chinese Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: We aimed to explore the relationship of sleep efficiency (SE) with the prevalence of hypertension in Chinese obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients based on polysomnography (PSG) records. Methods: We studied 2360 patients with OSA and 764 primary snorers who underwent PSG in our hospital. SE was divided into three grades, including ≥85%, 80%~84.9%, and <80%. Hypertension was defined based either on direct blood pressure measurements, under anti-hypertensive treatments or on physician diagnosis. Multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to investigate the association between SE and hypertension. Results: After adjusting for potential confounding factors, OSA patients with <80% SE and those with 80% to 84.9% SE were significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertension (OR = 1.248, 95% CI 1.018~1.531, Conclusion: We found that poor SE was correlated with the prevalence of hypertension in Chinese OSA patients, but not in those with primary snoring. Moreover, this relationship was evident especially in female, younger ages, obese, moderate and severe OSA patients.
