Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in women: gender in sleep respiratory medicine is a first step towards personalized medicine.
Review in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common sleep disordered breathing. In recent years, literature has focused on the anatomical and functional factors in the pathophysiology of patients to better understand their clinical and polysomnographic features, aiming for personalized treatment. Studies suggest that sleep-disorders breathing in women are underestimated and associated with cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Women tend to experience more mood disorders and behavioral symptoms, leading to a reduced quality of life. The sleep and respiratory pathophysiology in women are complex and varies with age and hormonal status. This review summarizes recent knowledge on this topic, emphasizing the pathophysiological mechanisms to explain the typical clinical and polysomnographic patterns observed in females. In sleep respiratory medicine, gender- specific approaches are now essential for personalized patient care.
