Sleep-disordered breathing and cardiovascular disease in the Bay Area Sleep Cohort.
Article in Sleep, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
STUDY
objectivesTo examine the relationship between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and cardiovascular disease among community-dwelling older adults. Previous studies have suggested relatively stronger associations between SDB and such morbidity in middle-aged, relative to elderly, populations.
designCross-sectional analysis of an elderly ambulatory, non-clinic-based cohort (Bay Area Sleep Cohort, BASC)
settingCommunity population studied in a sleep laboratory
participantsOne hundred twenty-nine older adults (mean [+/- SD] age = 72.6 [8.3]) (78 women; 51 men).
interventionsNA. MEASUREMENTS: Complete clinical history including list of current medications, physical examination, selected blood chemistries, multiple blood pressure measurements, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and 2 consecutive nights of polysomnography.
resultsFifty-one individuals (40%) were taking 1 or more cardiovascular medications and 24 (19%) had an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 10 or more per hour of sleep. Cardiovascular medication use was related to cardiac events or procedures, history of angina, higher systolic or diastolic blood pressure, and abnormal electrocardiogram. Logistic regression showed statistically significant association between cardiovascular medication use and AHI of 10 or greater per hour, independent of age, sex, and body mass index. Supplementary analyses indicated that rapid eye movement AHI of 10 or greater per hour was significantly associated with elevated diastolic blood pressure.
conclusionsThe results suggest that sleep-disordered breathing may contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity in older adults.
