Atrial Fibrillation and Objective Sleep Quality by Slow Wave Sleep.
Article in Journal of atrial fibrillation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSelf-reported poor sleep quality has been suggested in patients with AF. Slow wave sleep (SWS) is considered the most restorative sleep stage and represents an important objective measure of sleep quality. The aim of this study was to compare quantity of SWS between patients with and without AF. METHODS AND
resultsWe included patients with and without a documented history of AF by reviewing clinically indicated polysomnography data from a single sleep center. Patients on medications with potential influence on sleep architecture were excluded. Logistic regression was performed to determine the association between AF and SWS time (low vs. high) adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, and sleep apnea. In a 2:1 case-control set-up, a total of 205 subjects (139 with AF, 66 without AF) were included. Mean age was 62 (SD: 14.3) years and 59% were men. Patients with AF had lower SWS time (11.1 vs. 16.6 min, p=0.02). In multivariable analysis, prevalent AF was associated with low SWS independent of sleep apnea and other potential confounders (OR 2.5 [1.3, 5.0], p=0.006). Limiting the analysis to patients whose total sleep time was greater than 4 hours (by excluding N=31) resulted in more robust results (OR 3.9 [1.7, 9.7]. p=0.002).
conclusionAF is associated with more impaired sleep quality as indicated by lower quantity of SWS. More studies are needed to explore the mechanistic interactions between AF and sleep.
