Is REM sleep behavior disorder a friend or foe of obstructive sleep apnea? Clinical and etiological implications for neurodegeneration.
Review in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2021. 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
noneRapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by loss of muscle atonia during rapid eye movement sleep, associated with complex motor enactment of dreams. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a relatively common sleep disorder characterized by repetitive episodes of upper airway obstruction while sleeping, which can result in hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. Even though the nature of RBD and OSA is different, OSA may sometimes be accompanied by RBD symptoms. Accordingly, it is reasonable to distinguish these 2 sleep disorders in people with dream enactment behaviors. Although RBD and OSA share similar sleep phenomena, their association has yet to be elucidated. Herein we draw attention to various RBD-mimicking conditions, RBD combined with OSA, and the relationship between RBD and OSA. Furthermore, the clinical implications of OSA in neurodegeneration and the optimized management of RBD combined with OSA are also discussed in this review.
