Clinical characteristics and treatment preferences of obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This study examines the clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and treatment preferences of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to guide personalized treatment strategies. A cross-sectional analysis of 377 patients who underwent polysomnography was conducted, categorizing participants into three groups based on their chief complaints: sleepiness, disturbed sleep, and asymptomatic with comorbidities. Key factors such as body mass index (BMI), comorbid conditions, oxygen saturation levels, and sleep fragmentation influenced treatment choices. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was the most preferred treatment, particularly among patients with high BMI, cardiovascular comorbidities, and severe OSA (Apnea Hypopnea Index [AHI] > 30 events per hour). Patients with excessive daytime sleepiness favored CPAP due to lower oxygen saturation levels, while those with disturbed sleep were influenced by high sleep fragmentation. Individuals with metabolic syndrome showed mixed treatment preferences, with a small proportion opting for bariatric or upper airway surgery. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring OSA treatments based on patient phenotypes to optimize outcomes and improve quality of life.
