REM sleep proportion: an independent predictor of olfactory dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea 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: This study aimed to investigate the association between olfactory dysfunction and sleep architecture parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), identify independent factors influencing olfactory function, and offer novel insights into the multisystemic impact of OSAHS. Methods: Employing a cross-sectional retrospective design, data from 198 patients diagnosed with OSAHS via polysomnography (PSG) from December 1, 2020, to June 30, 2024, were analyzed. Olfactory performance was assessed using the Sniffin' Sticks test kit. Sleep structure parameters, including total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), N3 sleep proportion (N3%), rapid eye movement sleep proportion (REM%), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2), were recorded by PSG. Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses were conducted to examine associations between olfactory scores and sleep parameters. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to determine independent predictors for olfactory impairment. Results: Male patients exhibited a significantly higher proportion in the olfactory dysfunction group (81/131) compared to the normal olfaction group (50/131; Conclusion: Age increase, elevated AHI and decreased REM/TST% are independent influencing factors for the occurrence of olfactory disorders. The decline in olfactory function is significantly associated with a marked reduction in REM sleep. Elderly patients with OSAHS, high AHI and low REM proportion should be the key population for olfactory function screening.
