Association between self-reported sleep apnea and albuminuria among middle age and elderly population: Results from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

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
The prevalence of both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and albuminuria increase with advanced age. The data on the association between OSA and albuminuria in subjects with advanced age were limited. Hence, the present study aimed to assess the association between sleep apnea (SA) and albuminuria in middle age and elderly population. Data on participants with age ≥ 40 years during 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. SA was evaluated based on the sleep questionnaire and albuminuria was assessed by albumin-to-creatinine ratio. The independent relationship between SA and albuminuria was explored by using multivariate logistic regression. A total of 13,902 subjects with 11,788 cases of normoalbuminuria and 2114 cases of albuminuria were included for data analysis. The proportion of albuminuria increased as SA severity aggravation. Univariate logistic analysis showed that frequently SA was positively associated with albuminuria (OR = 1.301, 95% CI = 1.089-1.547, P = .003). In multivariate logistic analysis, frequently SA was independently associated with increased risk of albuminuria after adjusting for confounding factors (OR = 1.309, 95% CI = 1.010-1.683, P = .039). The present study suggested that self-reported frequently SA was independently associated with increased risk of albuminuria in middle age and elderly population.
