Use of continuous positive airway pressure for sleep apnea in the treatment of hypertension.
Review in Current opinion in nephrology and hypertension, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are highly prevalent and treatable conditions that often coexist and both contribute to an increased cardiovascular risk. The ability of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to improve blood pressure in hypertensive patients with OSA is debated. This review highlights findings from recent studies that have investigated the impact of CPAP on blood pressure in patients with OSA. RECENT
findingsComparing the results of various studies is complicated by important methodological differences among them. In hypertensive patients with OSA, treatment with CPAP improves blood pressure to a smaller degree than that derived from antihypertensive medication. Patients with more severe OSA and with greater adherence to CPAP are likely to gain the most benefit from the therapy. SUMMARY: CPAP should be used in combination with antihypertensive medications in hypertensive patients with OSA. CPAP has the additional benefits of restoring nocturnal dipping and improving arterial stiffness, thus potentially influencing cardiovascular morbidity in these high-risk patients.
