Reduced Risk of Sleep Disturbance and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Following Joint Replacement in Osteoarthritis Patients.
Article in International journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent condition characterized by inflammatory responses, and joint replacement surgery has been widely utilized for its management over the past several decades. Sleep disorders such as sleep disturbance and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are also associated with inflammation and pain. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the association between joint replacement surgery and the subsequent risk of sleep disorders in individuals with OA. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the TriNetX database. Individuals diagnosed with OA were categorized into two groups based on whether they underwent joint replacement surgery. A total of 135,607 individuals were included in both the surgery and non-surgery groups. The primary outcomes of interest were the incidence of sleep disturbance and OSA. A total of 19,146 episodes of sleep disturbance were observed in the surgery group, compared to 25,030 in the non-surgery group. Similarly, 8,715 cases of OSA occurred in the surgery group, whereas 11,472 were reported in the non-surgery group. Both sleep disturbance and OSA exhibited significantly lower incidence rates in the surgery group than in the non-surgery group (P < 0.001 for both). Consistently, cumulative incidence analyses also revealed significantly reduced rates of sleep disturbance and OSA in the surgery group (P < 0.001 for both). In conclusion, joint replacement surgery in patients with OA was associated with a decreased risk of subsequent sleep disorders, including both sleep disturbance and OSA.
