Association between obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients.

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
introductionHemodialysis patients are at high cardiovascular risk, with sudden death being one of the leading cause of mortality. Sleep disorders are highly prevalent in this population, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with poorer blood pressure control and cardiovascular damage.
objectiveTo investigate the association between an intermediate or high risk of OSA and the occurrence of major cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients.
methodsThis prospective multicenter cohort study was conducted in three hemodialysis clinics between May 2022 and May 2024. A total of 165 patients aged 18 to 75 years who had been undergoing hemodialysis for at least 6 months were included. Clinical, labora-tory, and sleep-related variables, were assessed, including OSA risk (STOP-Bang), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), chronotype (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire), and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE+). Patients were followed for 22 to 24 months.
resultsOverall 64.8% of patients were classified as being at an intermediate or high risk for OSA. This group showed a higher prevalence of diabetes and obesity, poorer sleep quality, more cases of chronic restless legs syndrome, and lower dialysis adequacy. The incidence of major cardiovascular events was significantly higher among patients at risk of OSA (17.0% vs. 5.2%; p = 0.03), with an independent association observed between OSA and sudden death (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.01-1.39; p = 0.03). Other sleep disorders were not associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
conclusionHemodialysis patients had a high risk of OSA, which was independently associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
