Impact of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome severity on quality of life, anxiety disorders, and productivity in an active population.

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
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a growing public health concern because of its increasing prevalence and harmful effects on physical and mental health. This disorder leads to disruptive symptoms such as daytime sleepiness and fatigue, which negatively affect vigilance, productivity, and quality of life. To investigate the impact of OSAHS severity on quality of life, productivity, and anxiety disorders in an active population. This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2018 to June 2023 at Sahloul University Hospital among patients diagnosed with OSAHS. Excessive daytime sleepiness was assessed via the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, quality of life via the SF-12 Health Survey, mental health via the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), and work productivity via the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. During the study period, 93 active patients diagnosed with OSAHS were included. Severe OSAHS was identified in 35 patients (37.6%). Male sex and tobacco smoking were associated with increased severity of OSAHS (
