Effect of indoor air quality on potential risk of obstructive sleep apnea: results from Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundUsing nationally representative data from the 2020-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we examined associations between indoor air pollutant exposure and potential obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk, estimated by STOP-BANG questionnaire scores.
methodsWe included 1,501 participants who completed the STOP-BANG questionnaire and consented to in-home air quality measurements per Korea's Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) standards. Data were weighted for national representativeness, and multivariate logistic regression models identified determinants of potential OSA risk with adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
resultsFrom our adjusted model, odds ratios (95% CI) for OSA risk with a unit increase in age were 1.07 (1.05-1.09) for men and 1.04 (1.01-1.07) for women, respectively. The ratios with systolic blood pressure were 1.05 (1.03-1.06) and 1.01 (0.99-1.02), and those with body mass index (BMI, Kg/m
conclusionsOur study found a potential association between elevated indoor HCHO levels and increased OSA risk in men. These findings highlight the importance of indoor air quality in OSA prevention, supporting the future development of more effective prevention models and interventions.
