Prevalence and predictors of obesity hypoventilation syndrome in an Indian cohort with 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 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
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a comorbidity in patients with Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It has a significant impact on the treatment and outcomes. There is paucity of data on the prevalence of OHS and its associated factors. Our objective was to estimate this for our Indian cohort. This is a retrospective study on consecutive patients who underwent a sleep study for suspicion of OSA from January 2022 to December 2022. Details of these patients were extracted from the electronic medical records, and the sleep studies were analysed. The prevalence of OHS was calculated. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to ascertain the independent OHS predictors. In an Indian patient population comprising predominantly southern and eastern Indian residents, 674 who met the specified criteria were included. Their mean age was 51.7 (SD 12.5), 426 (63.2%) were males, and 51.3% were obese. The prevalence of OHS was 5.8%. Only two patients without OSA had OHS. For the BMI ranges 30-40, 40-50, and > 50 kg/m
