Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and AF.
Review in Arrhythmia & electrophysiology review, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07259200 (Assessment of Sleep Parameters Using Polygraphy in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Qualified for Pulmonary Vein Isolation - A Prospective Observational Study), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
With the growing obesity epidemic, the global burden of AF and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasing at an alarming rate. Obesity, age, male gender, alcohol consumption, smoking and heart failure are common risk factors for both AF and OSA and they are independently associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Weak evidence from observational studies link OSA to the development of AF. Hypoxia/hypercapnia, systemic inflammation and autonomic nervous system modulation are biological mechanisms that link OSA to AF. Patients with OSA have a poor response to catheter ablation of AF and often suffer recurrences. Observational data shows that continuous positive airway pressure is associated with a reduction in AF burden and a better response to catheter ablation of AF. However, prospective randomised studies are needed to confirm the usefulness of continuous positive airway pressure in the treatment of AF in patients with OSA.
