Symptom subtype progression in obstructive sleep apnea over 5 years.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
STUDY
objectivesThere is limited knowledge regarding the progression or consistency of symptoms in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) over time. Our objective was to examine the changes in symptom subtypes and identify predictors over a span of 5 years.
methodsData of 2,643 participants of the Sleep Heart Health Study with complete baseline and 5-year follow-up visits were analyzed. Latent class analysis on 14 symptoms at baseline and follow-up determined symptom subtypes. Individuals without OSA (apnea-hypopnea index < 5) were incorporated as a known class at each time point. Multinomial logistic regression assessed the effect of age, sex, body mass index, and apnea-hypopnea index on specific class transitions.
resultsThe sample consisted of 1,408 females (53.8%) and mean (standard deviation) age 62.4 (10.5) years. We identified 4 OSA symptom subtypes at both baseline and follow-up visits:
conclusionsThe symptoms of OSA may fluctuate or remain stable over time. Knowledge of symptom progression in OSA may support clinicians with treatment decisions. CITATION: Morris JL, Scott PW, Magalang U, et al. Symptom subtype progression in obstructive sleep apnea over 5 years.
