Associations of fat, bone, and muscle indices with disease severity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) severity and fat, bone, and muscle indices.
methodsThis study included 102 patients with OSAHS and retrospectively reviewed their physical examination data. All patients underwent polysomnography, body composition analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography (CT) and blood test. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed using SPSS 22.0.
resultsAmong the fat indices, fat mass (FM) (r = 0.27-0.43), body fat percentage (BFP) (r = 0. 25-0.35), visceral fat area (VFA) (r = 0.28-0.40) and trunk fat mass (TFM) (r = 0.26-0.34) were positively correlated with hypopnea index (HI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), and percent of time spent with oxygen saturation below 90% (T90%), respectively, and negatively correlated with mean pulse oxygen saturation (SpO
conclusionHigher fat levels and lower vertebral CT values, muscle mass and density correlated with a higher degree of OSAHS severity. Intermittent hypoxia may affect fat, bone, and muscle metabolism in patients with OSAHS.
