Association between normal tension glaucoma and the risk of obstructive sleep apnoea using the STOP-Bang questionnaire.

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
backgroundTo assess the association between patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and the risk of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using the STOP-Bang questionnaire.
methodsA population-based cross-sectional analysis was performed using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2019 to 2021. An overall of 8832 subjects ≥ 40 years of age were investigated. Patients with NTG and controls completed the STOP-Bang questionnaire, a validated tool for identifying high-risk patients for OSA. The patients were divided into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups based on their scores.
resultsThe mean STOP-Bang scores were 2.04 ± 0.02 in the control group and 2.42 ± 0.10 in the NTG group, with significant differences between groups (p < 0.001). In univariate logistic regression models, both intermediate-risk (Odds ratio (OR), 1.42; 95% Confidence intervals (CI), 1.05-1.91) and high-risk (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.22-2.40) for OSA groups revealed a significant relationship regarding NTG compared to low-risk for OSA group. When adjusted for all confounding factors, the high risk for the OSA group was significantly associated with NTG (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.06-2.24).
conclusionsOur results indicate that high-risk OSA, as measured using the STOP-Bang questionnaire, correlates with NTG. Therefore, patients who scored two or more on the STOP-Bang questionnaire and were male, had a BMI > 35 or a neck circumference > 40 cm, or those who scored five or more and were classified as high risk should be carefully monitored because of the significantly higher likelihood of an association with NTG.
