The Converging Pathologies of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Atrial Arrhythmias.
Review in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in the United States (US). Along with epidemic rates of obesity, the rate of OSA cases is also on the rise. OSA is associated with multiple chronic health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, stroke, myocardial ischemia, and heart rhythm disturbances. OSA is commonly treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Several reports indicate that effective treatment of OSA can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including cardiac arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation (AF). CPAP therapy helps to maintain sinus rhythm after interventions such as electrical cardioversion and catheter ablation in patients with AF. However, more data is required to establish a relationship between OSA and other atrial arrhythmias as well to evaluate the effect of CPAP. This review will compile the latest evidence on the pathophysiology, management, and treatment of atrial arrhythmias associated with OSA.
