Sleep disordered breathing in older adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Article in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Heart failure in older adults is frequently accompanied by sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Treatment of SDB in persons with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unclear because most data is on heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The purpose of this paper was to evaluate studies that report on the effects of positive airway pressure on patient outcomes in older adults with HFpEF and comorbid SDB. A search of the literature found six data-based studies (N = 36 to 126). Treatment with positive airway pressure reduced nighttime SDB symptoms and improved daytime functional status in persons with HFPEF and SDB (New York Heart Association Functional Class: effect sizes = -0.67 to -1.60). Limitations (i.e. only two studies were randomized controlled trials, small sample sizes, and women were under-represented) suggest that additional evidence is needed to guide treatment of SDB in older adults with HFpEF.
