Comparison of Subjective and Objective Sleep Quality in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
purposeThis study aims to compare subjective and objective sleep quality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), given the high prevalence of this sleep disorder that can affect sleep quality.
methodThis research enrolled 195 individuals diagnosed with OSA, with an Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) of 5 or higher based on polysomnography. Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire for subjective sleep quality. Objective sleep quality derived from sleep efficiency reported in overnight polysomnography.
findingsAn analysis of sleep efficiency showed that 12.8% of people had poor-quality sleep. The PSQI was also used to measure subjective sleep quality, and 64.1% of respondents reported having poor sleep quality. No significant correlation was observed between sleep efficiency and PSQI scores. Obesity has a negative correlation (ρ = -0.168, p = 0.019) with sleep efficiency, highlighting the effect of BMI on sleep fragmentation. Male sex was linked to a lower risk of poor objective sleep quality, according to logistic regression analysis (adjusted OR = 0.314, 95% CI = 0.113-0.872). Frequent use of sleeping pills was linked to a lower probability of experiencing subjectively poor sleep quality (adjusted OR = 0.077, 95% CI = 0.024-0.243).
conclusionThis study highlights that a significant portion of OSA patients have poor sleep quality, subjectively. Although sleep efficiency is an important objective metrics, its lack of correlation with subjective sleep quality in this population highlights the complexity of assessing sleep health and the need for comprehensive evaluation tools in these patients.
