Increasing obstructive sleep apnea risk is associated with albuminuria in Korean adults: cross-sectional analysis.

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
Several studies have shown an association between albuminuria and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, studies on the relationship between the STOP-BANG questionnaire that can screen for OSA and microalbuminuria are still insufficient. Therefore, this study attempted to clarify the relationship between microalbuminuria and OSA risk using the STOP-BANG questionnaire in Korean adults. A total of 7478 participants (3289 men and 4189 women) aged over 40 were enrolled in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2019 to 2020. STOP-BANG questionnaire to screen OSA was obtained from subjects. The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and proteinuria were measured via a single dipstick to evaluate renal function. The high OSA risk group had a higher mean ACR value than the low OSA risk group (36.8 ± 172.2 vs 17.7 ± 82.5; P < 0.001). The proportion of subjects with values of 30 ≤ ACR < 300 mg/g (11.9% vs 6.1%; P < 0.001) and ACR > 300 mg/g (2.1% vs 0.7%; P < 0.001) was significantly higher in high OSA risk group. Multivariate logistic regression results confirmed that microalbuminuria (OR 1.279, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.068-1.532, P = 0.008) was significantly correlated with high OSA risk. In addition, significant correlation with high OSA risk was also found in macroalbuminuria (OR 1.684, 95% CI 1.073-2.530, P = 0.022) and proteinuria (OR 1.355, 95% CI 1.030-1.783, P = 0.030). We confirmed a significant correlation between high OSA risk and albuminuria/proteinuria in Korean adults. Therefore, renal function evaluation is required in high OSA risk patients, and OSA diagnosis through PSG test and treatment is necessary.
