Correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and weight-adjusted-waist index: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Obesity is recognized as a prominent factor in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) has emerged as a novel metric for assessing adiposity. The study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between WWI and OSA. Methods: In this study, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted on the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during the period from 2013 to 2020. To examine the correlation between WWI and OSA, multivariate logistic regression, smooth curve fitting, subgroup analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were employed. Results: Among the total 18,080 participants, 9,050 were categorized as having OSA. It was observed that as the quartile range of WWI increased, there was a gradual rise in the prevalence of OSA (37.4% vs. 50.3% vs. 55.1% vs. 57.5%, Conclusion: This study provides evidence that elevated levels of WWI are correlated with an increased risk of OSA, indicating the potential utility as predictive indicators for OSA.
