Obesity,obstructive sleep Apnea, and cardiometabolic risk: A comparative analysis of population-Based cohorts in Switzerland, India, and Benin.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 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
purposeThe prevalence and severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA) vary by ethnicity, yet data comparing OSA and its anthropometric risk factors across global, population-based cohorts remain limited. We aimed to determine associations between morphological factors and OSA severity, as well as whether OSA-related cardiometabolic risks differ among Swiss, Beninese, and Indian adults.
methodsWe analyzed pooled data from 4,663 adults enrolled in three population-based sleep cohorts: HypnoLaus(Switzerland), BeSAS(Benin), and BLESS(India). Associations between OSA severity (apnea-hypopnea index, AHI) and anthropometric measures [body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, and waist circumference] were examined using multivariable regression models adjusted for age and sex, with effect modification by cohort assessed. Associations between OSA (AHI ≥ 15) and major cardiometabolic comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome) were also evaluated.

conclusionsAssociations between obesity-related anthropometric factors, OSA severity, and cardiometabolic comorbidities differ across populations, with the strongest relationships observed in the Indian and Swiss cohorts. These findings underscore the importance of population-specific risk stratification and highlight the need to consider local anthropometric and epidemiologic contexts in OSA management and prevention strategies.
