Obstructive sleep apnea might trigger acute pulmonary embolism: results from a cohort study.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) might be an independent risk factor for acute pulmonary embolism (APE). AIM OF THE STUDY: A prospective cohort study was conducted to investigate if APE is sleep-related in untreated OSA syndrome or not.
methods206 APE patients were evaluated by portable monitoring and polysomnography. APE symptoms which caused an arousal from sleep or occurred within the first hour after wake-up were considered to be sleep-related.
resultsAPE manifestation is significantly more often sleep-related in patients with moderate or severe OSA compared to subjects with an apnea-hypopnea index ≤15/h (p < 0.001). The relative risk of sleep-related APE increases with the severity of OSA.
conclusionsOSA might trigger APE, possibly reflecting a pathophysiological relationship between these two conditions.
