Morning Diastolic Blood Pressure May Be Independently Associated With Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Non-Hypertensive Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
STUDY
objectivesThe aim of the study is to verify a possible association between arterial blood pressure and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity in a group of non-hypertensive patients.
methodsThis is a retrospective study of 1,171 consecutive patients referred to the sleep laboratory with complaints suggestive of OSA who underwent standard diagnostic polysomnography. In total, 454 patients with no History of arterial hypertension nor had received any such treatment were selected from this group.
resultsPatients with severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] ≥ 30 events/h) presented with higher diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the morning than healthy subjects (AHI < 5 events/h) or those suffering from mild (15 < AHI ≥ 5 events/h) or moderate OSA (30 < AHI ≥ 15 events/h): 86.2 ± 11.3 versus 79.2 ± 8.5, 80.3 ± 10.2 and 81.4 ± 9.6 mmHg,
conclusionsHigh AHI, independent of obesity, age and sex, was associated with elevated DBP in the morning. Thus, elevated morning DBP may be one of the symptoms related to OSA that warrants specific diagnostics. COMMENTARY: A commentary on this article appears in this issue on page 861.
