Holistic integrative analysis of circulatory parameters: effects of CPAP titration in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The idea of Holistic Integrative Physiology and Medicine (HIPM) emphasizes integrated regulation, supporting the interconnected systems of respiration, circulation, and metabolism. This study aims to investigate the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the physiological functions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: This self-controlled cohort study evaluated 20 patients with OSA for 48 hours using polysomnography (PSG). Natural sleep patterns were recorded on the first night of monitoring to provide baseline physiological data. Patients were instructed to utilize CPAP on the second night. The study involved a thorough analysis and calculation of a range of physiological parameters, including those related to respiratory, circulatory, and sleep parameters. To determine how CPAP affected each patient's circulatory parameters, statistical comparisons were done between normal sleep and CPAP therapy. Results: After the CPAP titration, OSA patients' respiratory and circulatory parameters improved significantly on the second night. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) decreased to 4.82±3.90 events/h, heart rate (HR) averaged 60.25±7.08 bpm, systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 98.46±17.66 mmHg, and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 66.44±14.24 mmHg. Compared to the first night, these values significantly decreased (all P<0.001). In addition, circulatory parameter variability improved significantly (all P<0.05). Conclusions: For patients with OSA, CPAP effectively reduces sleep apnea and related hypoxia. Moreover, it significantly improves circulatory parameters, indicating its potential as a long-term therapeutic solution.
