Central sleep apnea is uncommon after stroke.
Article in Sleep medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
OBJECTIVE/
backgroundStroke is often considered a risk factor for central sleep apnea (CSA). The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence and clinical correlates of CSA in patients with ischemic stroke. PATIENTS/
methodsIn this analysis, 1346 participants in the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project underwent a home sleep apnea test shortly after ischemic stroke. Respiratory events during sleep were classified as central apneas, obstructive apneas, or hypopneas. Central apnea index (CAI) was defined as number of central apneas divided by recording time. CSA was defined as CAI ≥5/hour with at least 50% of all scored respiratory events classified as central apneas. Demographics and co-morbidities were ascertained from the medical record.
resultsMedian CAI was 0/hour. Nineteen participants (1.4%) met criteria for CSA. Participants with CSA were more likely to be male, and had lower prevalence of obesity than participants without CSA. There was no association between CSA and other co-morbidities.
conclusionsCSA was uncommon in this large cohort of patients with recent ischemic stroke.
