Prevalence of Sleep Apnea and Sleepiness in Adults With and Without HIV in Mwanza, Tanzania: Baseline Results From an Ongoing Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of sleep research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the baseline survey of participants aged > 30 years enrolled in the Mwanza HIV&CVD Cohort in Tanzania. Our primary objective was to examine the association between HIV status and sleep apnea (SA). Secondary objectives were (1) to examine the association between HIV status and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and (2) to identify risk factors associated with SA and with EDS. The cohort enrolled 500 people living with HIV (PLWH) and 500 people without HIV (PWoH) in 2021-2023. Participants completed overnight oximetry; SA was defined as an oxygen desaturation index (ODI) of ≥ 5 events/h. EDS was defined as an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (ESS) of ≥ 11. The median age was 46 and 43 in PLWH and PWoH, respectively. The prevalence of sleep apnea was similar between PLWH and PWoH (17% and 19%, respectively; adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.60-1.17). In contrast, the prevalence of EDS (ESS score ≥ 11) was higher in PWoH (21%) than in PLWH (13%) (aOR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.41-0.83). In a multivariable model, factors associated with SA were older age, alcohol use, higher BMI category, hypertension and depression. Both objectively measured SA and subjectively reported EDS are common in Tanzanian adults. SA was strongly associated with overweight or obesity, suggesting that the prevalence of SA will grow with projected increases in age and obesity rates in Tanzania.
