Association between obstructive sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Sleep and biological rhythms, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: This study aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the potential association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and low bone mass in adults. Methods: Electronic searches of four main databases were performed. The inclusion criteria consisted of observational studies investigating the relationship between OSA and bone mass, osteoporosis, fractures, or bone metabolism markers in adult population. Bone mineral density (BMD) and T score of lumbar and femur neck, incidence of osteoporosis and fractures, bone metabolism marker levels were extracted as primary outcomes. Results: Among the 693 relevant publications, 10 studies consisting of 158,427 participants met with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed a significant lower BMD of lumbar (mean difference (MD) = - 0.03; 95% CI - 0.05, - 0.01; I Conclusions: A potential association between OSA and lower bone mass in adults is preliminarily proved. It also seems plausible that both male and female with OSA have a higher risk of osteoporosis.
