Ultrasonographic changes and impact factors of diaphragmatic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.

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
purposeDiaphragmatic impairment has been reported in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients. However, the risk factors of diaphragmatic dysfunction are unclear. This study was conducted to evaluate the diaphragmatic function and to investigate impact factors of ultrasonographic changes of the diaphragm in OSAHS patients.
methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 150 snoring patients. All patients were divided into the control group (AHI < 5/h, n = 20), the mild-to-moderate OSAHS group (5/h ≤ AHI ≤ 30/h, n = 61), and the severe OSAHS group (AHI > 30/h, n = 69). Diaphragmatic thickness at function residual capacity (T
resultsT
conclusionThe diaphragm is thickened and diaphragmatic contractility is decreased in OSAHS patients. Nocturnal intermittent hypoxia is a risk factor for diaphragmatic hypertrophy and impaired diaphragmatic contractility.
