Association between body roundness index and obstructive sleep apnea among US adults: data from the 2005-2008 and 2015-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Article in Sleep and biological rhythms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
OSA is defined as the repeated occurrence of apnea or hypopnea during sleep caused by upper airway collapse. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by a high apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and persistent daytime sleepiness. Body roundness index (BRI), calculated using waist circumference and height, is a measure of obesity. BRI demonstrates a stronger correlation with body fat compared to BMI. However, no studies have thus far reported on the association between BRI and OSA. The data for this study were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2005-2008 and 2015-2018). BRI was computed as 364.2-365.5 * (1 - [WC(m)/2π] Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41105-024-00566-5.
