Association between COMISA and cardiovascular disease: Evidence from the TURKAPNE registry.
Article in PloS one, 2026. 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
backgroundComorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA) is increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical entity, yet its relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains incompletely understood. We aimed to investigate the association between COMISA and CVD in a large clinical sleep cohort.
methodsUsing data from the TURKAPNE registry, we analyzed 12,715 adults referred for sleep evaluation and classified participants into four mutually exclusive sleep phenotypes: neither OSA nor insomnia (n = 910), insomnia only (n = 388), OSA only (n = 8,142), and COMISA (n = 3,275). The prevalence of CVD was compared across groups. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine associations between COMISA and CVD after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, education level, smoking status, airway disease, diabetes mellitus, and psychiatric comorbidity.
resultsThe prevalence of COMISA was higher among individuals with CVD compared with those without CVD (31.6% vs. 22.7%; p < 0.001). In contrast, the distribution of insomnia alone and OSA alone showed only minor differences by CVD status. In multivariable analysis, CVD was independently associated with COMISA (odds ratio 1.108, 95% confidence interval 1.006-1.220; p = 0.038), although the magnitude of this association was modest. Female sex, diabetes, airway disease, psychiatric disease, lower educational status, and current smoking were also independently associated with COMISA.
conclusionIn this large registry-based cohort, COMISA was more prevalent among individuals with CVD, supporting the concept that it represents a clinically distinct phenotype with an increased cardiometabolic burden. However, the modest effect size suggests that COMISA is influenced by a broader interplay of behavioral and metabolic factors.
