1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

STUDY

objectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The effect of OSA treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the cardiovascular response to a stressor is unknown. We sought to determine the effect of CPAP therapy on heart rate variability (HRV) and arterial stiffness, at baseline, in response to, and recovery from a physiological stressor, Angiotensin II (AngII), in humans with OSA.

methodsTwenty-five incident healthy subjects (32% female; 49 ± 2 years) with moderate-severe OSA and nocturnal hypoxia were studied in high-salt balance, a state of maximal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) suppression, before CPAP, and after 4 weeks of effective CPAP therapy (usage > 4 h/night) in a second identical study day. HRV was calculated by spectral power and time domain analysis. Aortic augmentation index (AIx) and carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (PWV

resultsCPAP corrected OSA and nocturnal hypoxemia. CPAP treatment was associated with increased sensitivity and delayed recovery from AngII (Δln HF [high frequency; recovery: -0.09 ± 0.19 versus -0.59 ± 0.17 ms

conclusionsCPAP therapy was associated with delayed cardiovagal reactivation after a stressor and down-regulation of the arterial RAS. These findings may have important implications in mitigating cardiovascular risk in both men and women with OSA.
