Correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and serum markers HIF-1, IL-6 and iNOS after lung transplantation.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo analyze the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1, interleukin (IL)-6 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in patients complicated with OSA after lung transplantation. To identify serum markers of OSA after lung transplantation.
methodsWe retrospectively selected patients who planned to undergo lung transplantation between 2018 and 2020, including 25 without OSA before lung transplantation (group A), 20 with OSA after lung transplantation (group B), and 15 patients without OSA after lung transplantation (group C). Sleep monitoring was performed, general information collection and hematological samples were collected. HIF-1, IL-6 and iNOS were detected by ELISA.
resultsGroup B were older [59.2 ± 10.1 (B) vs. 49.8 ± 15.1 (A), 58.2 ± 3.3 (C), yrs.], had a bigger neck circumference [38.1 ± 4.7 (B) vs. 34.6 ± 4.2 (A),35.7 ± 4.2 (C), cm], and a greater abdominal circumference [88.2 ± 12.5 (B) vs. 76.2 ± 7.9 (A), 82.5 ± 6.5 (C), cm] compared with Groups A and C (P < 0.05). iNOS in group B (4784.8 ± 1365.2 (B) vs. 1925.2 ± 1868.5 (A), 2838.7 ± 3015.5 (C), pg/mL) was significantly increased compared to groups A and C (P < 0.05). iNOS was positively correlated with AHI.
conclusionsiNOS is significantly increased in OSA after lung transplantation, and maybe an important indicator of OSA.
