Factors associated with sleep state misperception in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a cross-sectional study.

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
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate factors associated with sleep state misperception (SSM) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to provide evidence for the early identification and intervention of comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA). Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 700 patients diagnosed with OSA by polysomnography (PSG) at a sleep center of a hospital in Jiangsu Province, China, between June 2024 and May 2026. Based on the Sleep Perception Index (SPI), patients were classified into three groups: a negative misperception group ( Results: In the multinomial logistic regression analysis with the normal perception group as the reference, higher N3 sleep stage percentage (N3%), higher apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), lower PSQI score, and lower sleep efficiency (SE) were independent factors associated with positive misperception (all Conclusion: The direction of sleep state misperception in patients with OSA is specifically associated with multidimensional clinical characteristics. High AHI was independently associated with both positive and negative misperception. Positive misperception was more closely linked to disruptions in objective sleep architecture and to better self-rated sleep quality, whereas protective factors against negative misperception involved more rational sleep-related beliefs, more subjective cognitive decline complaints, and higher levels of anxiety. This divergence suggests that different misperception directions may be related to distinct underlying psychopathological and neurocognitive mechanisms, underscoring the need for precision screening and stratified intervention strategies tailored to the direction of misperception in clinical practice.
