Heart Rate Variability as a Surrogate Marker of Severe Chronic Coronary Syndrome in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a known risk factor for chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). CCS and OSA are separately associated with significant changes in heart rate variability (HRV). In this proof-of-concept study, we tested whether HRV values are significantly different between OSA patients with concomitant severe CCS, and OSA patients without known CCS. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study comprised a retrospective assessment of the historical and raw polysomnography (PSG) data of 32 patients who presented to a tertiary university hospital with clinical complaints of OSA. A total of 16 patients (four females, mean age 62.94 ± 2.74 years, mean body mass index (BMI) 31.93 ± 1.65 kg/m
resultsA significant reduction (
conclusionsSevere CCS has a significant impact on short-long-term HRV in OSA patients. Further studies in OSA patients with less-severe CCS may shed more light onto the involved mechanistic processes. If confirmed in future larger studies, this physiologic metric has the potential to provide a robust surrogate marker of severe CCS in OSA patients.
