Component
Residual sleepiness in CPAP-treated human OSA
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Modafinil improved residual sleepiness and functioning in a twelve-week trial of CPAP-treated OSA patients; it did not establish correction of airway obstruction.

- interpretation_status
- Source-derived extraction of a fact-checked reference; access is explicit, not independent raw-data verification.
- limitations
- Interpret only within the recorded preparation, exposure and comparator. The complete source passage retains qualifications; unspecified doses/timing have not been extracted here. No clinical efficacy, nutrient deficiency or unique molecular mediation is inferred.

For OSA, a 12-week randomized trial showed improved residual sleepiness and functioning in CPAP-treated patients and no adverse effect on CPAP use during that study. This is genuine symptomatic benefit; it does not show correction of airway obstruction or prevention of long-term vascular events. [OSA trial](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16171291/)
