Analysis of the predictive ability of novel hypoxia-related indicators for disease severity in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 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
objectiveGiven the high prevalence of OSA, low rates of clinical consultation, limited accessibility to PSG, and the widespread adoption of advanced portable technologies, the development of novel indices capable of accurately evaluating both the presence and severity of OSA is urgently required. We evaluated novel hypoxia-related indicators, such as the sleep breathing impairment index (SBII) and the percentage of sleep time with the duration of respiratory events causing desaturation (pRED_3p), and compared their predictive efficacy for OSA with traditional indicators.
methodsAnthropometric parameters and polysomnographic data from patients diagnosed with OSA were retrospectively collected. SBII and pRED_3p values were computed based on SPO
resultsIn the context of OSA onset and disease stratification, BMI and longest apnea- hypopnea time (L-AHT) demonstrated limited predictive capability. In contrast, sleep-related variables including maximum oxygen desaturation (MOD), lowest oxygen saturation (LSPO
conclusionThese novel hypoxia-related indices have demonstrated strong predictive power in identifying OSA and grading its severity, and can detect non-obese, non-severe hypoxic OSA patients at an early stage.
