Association of advanced lung cancer inflammation index with hypertension in obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Medicine, 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
The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension has been well established. The Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI), which integrates markers of inflammation and nutritional status, has been associated with hypertension in OSA patients. This study aimed to explore the association between ALI and hypertension among individuals with OSA. Data from 12,049 participants across four National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles were analyzed. OSA was identified using a questionnaire-based sleep-related information. Logistic regression models adjusted for confounders and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were conducted to evaluate the associations and potential nonlinear relationships. Logistic regression analysis showed that each unit increase in Log ALI was associated with higher odds of hypertension (OR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.25-1.66, P < .001). Quartile analysis demonstrated that participants in the fourth ALI quartile had higher odds of hypertension than those in the lowest quartile (OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.40-2.07, P < .001). RCS analysis supported the nonlinear association between ALI and hypertension. This study suggests a significant association between ALI and hypertension in individuals with OSA, highlighting the potential relevance of inflammation and nutritional status in hypertension.
