Effect of house dust mite allergen on sleep parameters and sleep quality.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe role of nasal problems such as allergic rhinitis in the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is controversial. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of house dust mite (HDM) allergen on sleep-related problems.
methodsIn a retrospective study patients were classified according to the house dust mite (HDM)-related specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) level into a low HDM-IgE group (group A) and a high HDM-IgE group (group B). Polysomnographic indices, OSA severity, and self-administered questionnaire results were compared between groups. Correlational analysis was used to identify associations between specific IgE values and sleep parameters related to respiratory events.
resultsA total of 327 patients were enrolled. N1 stage ratio, apnea index, and apnea-hypopnea index were significantly higher in group B (P = 0.010, 0.003, and 0.002 respectively) than in group A. N2 stage ratio, and lowest and mean oxygen saturation were significantly lower in group B (P = 0.001, 0.001, and < 0.001 respectively). After propensity score matching, the apnea index and lowest and mean oxygen saturation remained significantly different (P = 0.005, 0.005, and 0.001 respectively). Patients in group B were more likely to have severe OSA and worse subjective sleep quality. In correlational analysis, lowest and mean oxygen saturation were significantly negatively correlated with specific IgE values.
conclusionA high HDM-specific IgE level was associated with the occurrence of respiratory events and oxygen desaturation during sleep, and with the presence of severe OSA, as well as poorer subjective sleep quality.
