Association between multiple sleep dimensions in obstructive sleep apnea and an early sign of atherosclerosis.
Trial report in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesWe investigated the associations between multiple sleep dimensions in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), an early sign of atherosclerosis, in participants from the Shanghai Sleep Health Study.
methodsWe performed secondary analysis of SSHS in a group of subjects who underwent ultrasound evaluation from 2018 to 2022. Multiple sleep dimensions were measured using standard polysomnography. CIMT was measured from ultrasound images as an early sign of atherosclerosis. Multivariable-adjusted linear regression and logistic regression analyses were performed to detect associations between sleep traits in OSA and CIMT.
resultsCIMT was found to increase with increasing severity of OSA (
conclusionsPatients with more severe sleep fragmentation, more severe hypoxemia, and increased arousability were more likely to have increased CIMT after adjusting for potential confounders. It is important to evaluate novel indices of sleep fragmentation, hypoxemia, and arousability in OSA for early detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease, including stroke. CLINICAL
