Sleep quality and well-being in obesity-hypoventilation syndrome versus obstructive sleep apnea with obesity: A comparative study.
Article in Metabolism open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Only a few studies in the published literature have assessed the well-being, and the sleep quality (SQ) in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). The aim of this study was to evaluate well-being and SQ in patients with OHS and to compare these outcomes with those of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity. Methods: Consecutive subjects being referred for evaluation of sleep disordered breathing were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A: OSA patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m Results: In total 1010 participants (OHS, n = 203) were included in the study. No difference was observed between groups in mean scores of Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), WHO-5, and PSQI questionnaires. In patients with OHS, WHO-5 score was negatively correlated with neck circumference (r = -0.703, p = 0.016) and waist circumference (r = -0.728, p = 0.011). Moreover, PSQI scores in this group were significantly correlated with BMI (r = 0.410, p = 0.038). A lower WHO-5 score was observed in OHS patients with diabetes mellitus compared to non-diabetic patients with OHS (p = 0.049). Conclusions: Patients with OSA and OHS reported similarly poor well-being and SQ. In patients with OHS, both high neck - and waist circumference were associated with poor well-being, while higher BMI was associated with worse sleep quality. Additionally, the well-being of OHS patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus was worse compared to OHS patients without diabetes mellitus.
