Cerebellar volumes and the intrinsic cerebellar network in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

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
purposeThis research aimed to explore changes in both cerebellar volume and the intrinsic cerebellar network in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
methodsNewly diagnosed OSA patients and healthy controls were included in the study. All participants underwent three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging using a 3-T MRI scanner. Cerebellar volumes, both overall and subdivided, were quantified using the ACAPULCO program. The intrinsic cerebellar network was assessed using the BRAPH program, which applied graph theory to the cerebellar volume subdivision. Comparisons were drawn between the patients with OSA and healthy controls.
resultsThe study revealed that the 26 patients with OSA exhibited a notably lower total cerebellar volume compared to the 28 healthy controls (8.330 vs. 9.068%, p < 0.001). The volume of the left lobule VIIB was reduced in patients with OSA compared to healthy controls (0.339 vs. 0.407%, p = 0.001). Among patients with OSA, there was a negative correlation between the volume of the left lobule X and apnea-hypopnea index during non-rapid eye movement sleep (r = - 0.536, p = 0.005). However, no significant differences were observed in the intrinsic cerebellar network between patients and healthy controls.
conclusionThis study established that patients with OSA exhibited decreased total cerebellar volumes and particularly reduced volumes in subdivisions such as the left lobule VIIB compared to healthy controls. These findings suggest potential involvement of the cerebellum in the underlying mechanisms of OSA.
