Which Is the Ideal Marker for Early Atherosclerosis in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) - Carotid Intima-Media Thickness or Mean Platelet Volume?
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to be closely associated with cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is widely used for assessment of atherosclerosis. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a new marker associated with atherothrombosis. In this study, we aimed to detect early atherosclerosis by measuring carotid intima-media thickness and to investigate the relationship between MPV and IMT and OSA severity. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study population consisted of 158 patients who underwent polysomnography and did not have any overt cardiac disease or risk factors. Carotid IMT was measured by ultrasonography. Blood samples were taken for MPV determination. Subjects were divided into 4 groups according to OSA severity: control, mild, moderate, and severe OSA. RESULTS CONCLUSIONS OSA patients appear to have increased carotid IMT suggestive of an atherosclerotic process. Carotid IMT could be a more useful indicator than MPV in these patients. Long-term prospective studies are needed to confirm these results.
