Pulmonary hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: Correlation with disease severity and quality of life.
Article in World journal of cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly recognized as a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity, including pulmonary hypertension (PH).
aimTo assess the prevalence and severity of PH in newly diagnosed OSA patients and evaluate its association with disease severity and quality of life (QoL).
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 113 patients newly diagnosed with OSA underwent echocardiography to assess pulmonary artery pressures and completed the World Health Organisation Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. OSA severity was determined
resultsPH (defined by MPAP ≥ 20 mmHg) was observed in 71.68% of patients (MPAP ≥ 20 mmHg). Its prevalence increased with age and OSA severity (
conclusionPH in OSA is strongly linked to disease severity, impairs right ventricular function, and reduces QoL. Findings are limited by the cross-sectional design and reliance on echocardiography instead of right heart catheterization.
