New perspective on exploring the predictive factors of blood pressure reduction during CPAP treatment in people with severe OSA and hypertension: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in BMJ open respiratory research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe predictive factors of blood pressure (BP) response to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are still being explored. We aimed to assess the antihypertensive effect of CPAP considering the obstructive respiratory event-triggered BP surge profiles in 130 subjects with severe OSA and untreated hypertension.
methodsNocturnal BP was monitored continuously and synchronised with polysomnography. Event-triggered BP surge profiles were studied: BP surge as the value of event-related systolic BP (SBP) elevation; BP index as the number of BP surge events of ≥10 mm Hg per hour. Patients were then divided into two groups according to the median BP index (high and low BP surge groups) and assigned to 4 weeks of CPAP. Changes in BPs and plasma biomarkers were compared. After the initial evaluation, patients with a better BP response in the high BP surge group were then followed up for the second evaluation at 24 months.
resultsOverall, a modest decrease was observed in both office and asleep BPs at the 4-week follow-up; however, BPs dropped more markedly in patients in the high BP surge group than those in the low BP surge group, in both office SBP (5.3 mm Hg vs 2.2 mm Hg, p=0.003) and diastolic BP (4.0 mm Hg vs 1.2 mm Hg, p<0.001), especially the asleep SBP (9.0 mm Hg vs 2.1 mm Hg, p<0.001). For 30 cases in the high BP surge group, optimal BP control was achieved in 60.0% of patients and BP<140/90 mm Hg reached up to 83.3% after 24 months of CPAP. Linear regression revealed that BP index was significantly associated with BP decrease during CPAP treatment.
conclusionsOur results suggested that high event-triggered BP surge was a sensitive predictor of BP response to CPAP in patients with severe OSA and untreated hypertension.
