Does continuous positive airway pressure therapy benefit patients with coronary artery disease and obstructive sleep apnea? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The prevalent co-morbidity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has attracted great interest. However, effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with OSA and CAD for cardiovascular outcomes and deaths are still controversial. Usage of CPAP among patients with CAD and OSA could decrease the risk of cardiovascular events and death in adults. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched. Studies that described association of CPAP treatment with cardiovascular events in CAD and OSA patients were included. The main outcome was the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and repeat revascularization. Summary relative risks (risk ratios [RRs]) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of outcomes were pooled and heterogeneity was assessed with the I
