Sleep disorders and the risk of stroke.
Review in Expert review of neurotherapeutics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 papers, 5 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
introductionStroke is a major cause of disability and death in the United States and across the world, and the incidence and prevalence of stroke are expected to rise significantly due to an aging population. Obstructive sleep apnea, an established independent risk factor for stroke, is a highly prevalent disease that is estimated to double the risk of stroke. It remains uncertain whether non-apnea sleep disorders increase the risk of stroke. Areas covered: This paper reviews the literature describing the association between incident stroke and sleep apnea, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movements of sleep, insomnia, and shift work. Expert commentary: Trials of continuous positive airway pressure for stroke prevention in sleep apnea patients have been largely disappointing, but additional trials that target populations not yet optimally studied are needed. Self-reported short and long sleep duration may be associated with incident stroke. However, abnormal sleep duration may be a marker of chronic disease, which may itself be associated with incident stroke. The relationship between non-apnea sleep disorders and incident stroke deserves further attention. Identification of specific non-apnea sleep disorders or sleep problems that convey an increased risk for stroke may provide novel targets for stroke prevention.
