Spousal sleep behaviors and obstructive sleep apnea risk: effects on couples' self-rated health.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aims to examine the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk, as assessed by the STOP-Bang questionnaire, and couples' self-rated health. It also investigates how sleep behaviors (snoring, daytime tiredness, and observed apnea) reported in the STOP-Bang items affect couples' self-rated health.
methodsData from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2021) were analyzed, including 2,498 couples with complete STOP-Bang and self-rated health data. Logistic regression was used to explore these associations.
results59.2% of husbands and 11.0% of wives were at high risk for OSA. After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, and health behaviors, OSA risk and daytime tiredness were associated with poor self-rated health in both spouses (OR 1.52-3.38 in husbands, 2.23-2.63 in wives). After adjusting for these confounding factors and individual OSA risk, husbands whose wives reported snoring or daytime tiredness had higher odds of self-rated poor health (OR 2.69 [95% CI: 1.63-4.43] and 1.75 [95% CI: 1.25-2.45], respectively) compared to husbands whose wives did not report these behaviors. However, wives' self-rated health was not significantly influenced by their husbands' sleep behaviors. Additionally, the adjusted odds of self-rated poor health were 1.51 (95% CI: 1.06-2.16) in husbands if either partner had a high OSA risk, and 1.83 (95% CI: 1.15-2.90) in wives if both partners had a high OSA risk.
conclusionHusbands' self-rated poor health is associated with wives' snoring and daytime tiredness. The presence of OSA in one or both partners was also associated with poorer perceived health in the couple.
