Evaluation of the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Effect on Neurotrophins' Gene Expression and Protein Levels.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Neurotrophins (NT) might be associated with the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to concurrent intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. Such a relationship could have implications for the health and overall well-being of patients; however, the literature on this subject is sparse. This study investigated the alterations in the serum protein concentration and the mRNA expression of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NTF3), and neurotrophin-4 (NTF4) proteins following a single night of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. This study group consisted of 30 patients with OSA. Venous blood was collected twice after a diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) and PSG with CPAP treatment. Gene expression was assessed with a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the protein concentrations. After CPAP treatment, BDNF, proBDNF, GDNF, and NTF4 protein levels decreased (
