High prevalence of poststroke sleep-disordered breathing in Mexican Americans.
Article in Sleep medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to compare sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) prevalence and severity after stroke between Mexican Americans (MAs) and non-Hispanic whites (NHWs). PATIENTS/
methodsIschemic stroke (IS) patients within ∼30 days of onset were identified from the population-based BASIC Project (2010-2014) and offered screening with an overnight cardiopulmonary monitoring device, ApneaLink Plus™. The number of apneas and hypopneas per hour, as reflected by the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), was used to measure SDB severity; SDB was defined as AHI ≥10. Ethnicity, demographics, and risk factors were collected from interviews and medical records. Log and negative-binomial regression models were used to determine prevalence ratios (PRs) and apnea/hypopnea event rate ratios (RRs) comparing MAs with NHWs after adjustment for demographics, risk factors, and stroke severity.
resultsA total of 549 IS cases had AHI data. The median age was 65 years (interquartile range (IQR): 57-76), 55% were men, and 65% were MA. The MAs had a higher prevalence of SDB (68.5%) than NHWs (49.5%) in unadjusted (PR = 1.38; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.14-1.67) and adjusted analyses (PR = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.01-1.46). The median AHI was 16 (IQR: 7-31) in MAs and nine (IQR: 5-24) in NHWs. The severity of SDB (rate of apneas/hypopneas) was higher in MAs than NHWs in unadjusted (RR = 1.31; 95% CI: 1.09-1.58) but not adjusted analysis (RR = 1.14; 95% CI: 0.95-1.38). There was no ethnic difference in severity among subjects with SDB.
conclusionMore than two-thirds of MA stroke patients had SDB, which was almost 40% more common among MAs than NHWs. Physicians treating MA patients after stroke should have a high index of suspicion for SDB, a treatable condition that could otherwise have adverse impact.
