Sleep Apnea and Sudden Cardiac Death.
Article in Circulation reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Sleep plays an integral role in maintaining health and quality of life. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and arrhythmias. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a common and devastating event. Out-of-hospital SCD accounts for the majority of deaths from cardiac disease, which is the leading cause of death globally. A limited but emerging body of research have further elaborated on the link between OSA and SCD. In this article, we aim to provide a critical review of the existing evidence by addressing the following: What epidemiologic evidence exists linking OSA to SCD? What evidence exists for a pathophysiologic connection between OSA and SCD? Are there electrocardiographic markers of SCD found in patients with OSA? Does heart failure represent a major effect modifier regarding the relationship between OSA and SCD? What is the impact of sleep apnea treatment on SCD and cardiovascular outcomes? Finally, we elaborate on ongoing research to enhance our understanding of the OSA-SCD association.
