Association between respiratory event-specific oxygen desaturation rate and blood pressure surge in obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To investigate the association between respiratory event-specific oxygen desaturation rate (ODR) and blood pressure (BP) surges in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Oxygen desaturation events caused by apnea and hypopnea were analyzed to quantify ODR, representing the rate of oxygen consumption. Beat-to-beat systolic blood pressure was recorded using a pulse transit time (PTT)-based technique synchronized with PSG, and post-hypoxic BP responses (peak, amplitude, surge rate) were extracted. Vascular hypoxic reactivity was defined as the ratio of BP response to ODR. A total of 95,518 respiratory events from 297 patients were analyzed. In adjusted linear models, higher ODR was significantly associated with increased BP amplitude (β = 5.33, 95% CI: 3.00-7.67, p < 0.001) and BP surge rate (β = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.22-0.81, p = 0.001), but not with BP peak. A significant interaction between ODR and hypertension status was observed for both BP amplitude and surge rate. For each unit increase in BP amplitude/ODR, BP peak/ODR, and BP surge rate/ODR, the odds of hypertension increased by 2.3%, 0.2%, and 14.1%, respectively. ODR showed an independent relationship with post-hypoxic BP surge in OSA patients. The ratio of BP surges to ODR, reflecting vascular hypoxic reactivity, was associated with hypertension.
