Conventional polysomnographic parameters fail to predict unrefreshing sleep in patients suspected of obstructive sleep apnea.

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
objectiveSubjective sleep status does not necessarily correspond to objective sleep parameters. Some subjects complain of unrefreshing sleep (URS) in the morning. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether there is a relationship between total sleep time (TST) misperception and URS.
methodsWe asked subjects undergoing polysomnography (PSG) for the diagnosis of sleep-related breathing disorders about their subjective TST (sTST) and whether they experienced URS in the morning immediately after PSG. We then analyzed the objective TST (oTST) measured by PSG and examined the relationship between TST misperception and URS.
resultsWe conducted an analysis of 150 subjects undergoing PSG. A TST misperception index (MI; TST-MI) was computed using the following formula: MI = [oTST-sTST]/oTST. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the presence of URS was an independent determinant of TST-MI after adjusting for the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), oTST or sleep efficiency (SE), and some other factors. Furthermore, patients with a high TST-MI tended to have a lower mean AHI and arousal index than those with a low TST-MI; however, the proportion of patients with URS was significantly higher.
conclusionTST underestimation was significantly associated with URS, independently of oTST and SE. Furthermore, the greater the degree of TST underestimation, the greater the degree of URS.
