Causes of sleep disturbance in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals: Is it depression or obstructive sleep apnea?
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectivesTo examine the possible association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depression on sleep quality in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PWLHIV).
methodsAdult PWLHIV were included in this prospective, cross-sectional, case-control study. Our study was completed with 99 patients and 80 control subjects. To investigate sleep quality, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale and Stanford Sleepiness Scale were used; to determine the risk of OSA, the Berlin and STOP-BANG questionnaires were used; and to evaluate the existence and degree of depression, the Beck Depression Inventory was applied.
resultsPatients had significantly higher daytime sleepiness (
conclusionThe results suggest that depression may be the most likely cause of sleep disorders in PWLHIV, regardless of OSA.
