High risk for obstructive sleep apnea and risk of hypertension in military personnel: The CHIEF sleep study.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundEpidemiological studies have revealed an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension in the general population, while the association in military personnel was rarely investigated.
aimTo examine the association between high risk for OSA and hypertension by phenotypes in military young adults.
methodsA total of 746 military personnel, aged 27.9 years, were included in the cardiorespiratory fitness and health in armed forces (CHIEF)-sleep study in Taiwan in 2020. Antihypertensive medications were not used by the subjects. High risk for OSA was assessed using the Berlin Questionnaire. Hypertension was defined using the 7
resultsThe prevalence of high risk for OSA, JNC 7-based hypertension and 2017 ACC/AHA-based hypertension were 8.0%, 5.2% and 22.0%, respectively. Those with a high risk for OSA had a higher probability of JNC 7-based overall and combined hypertension (odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals: 2.82 (1.07-7.42) and 7.54 (1.10-51.54), although the probabilities of ISH and IDH were unaffected by a high risk for OSA (ORs: 1.96 and 2.35, respectively, both
conclusionA high risk for OSA was associated with severe hypertension and combined hypertension among Asian military young adults.
