Clinical and Anthropometric Correlates of Polysomnography-Defined Severity in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

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
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder frequently associated with cardiometabolic morbidity. In this retrospective study of 339 adults who underwent polysomnography (PSG) between January 2020 and December 2024, we investigated the relationship between routinely obtained clinical and anthropometric measures-body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC), waist circumference (WC), and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)-and PSG-defined OSAS severity. Materials and Methods: Adults (≥18 years) who underwent overnight PSG and had complete clinical and anthropometric data were included. OSAS severity was defined using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): no OSA (<5 events/h), mild (5-14.9), moderate (15-29.9), and severe (≥30). Associations between AHI and clinical or anthropometric measures were assessed using Spearman's correlation analysis. Results: A total of 339 patients were included (mean age 46.1±12.0 years; 73.2% male; mean BMI 33.2±6.2 kg/m Conclusion: NC, WC, and ESS were associated with PSG-defined OSAS severity. However, correlations with age, weight, NC, and WC were weak in magnitude despite statistical significance, while BMI showed limited association. These routinely obtained measures may aid clinical assessment in sleep laboratory populations.
