Sleep Fragmentation and Atherosclerosis: is There a Relationship?
Review in Missouri medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Sleep fragmentation refers to the disruption of sleep architecture with poor quality of sleep despite optimal duration of sleep. Sleep fragmentation has been shown to have multiple effects on different body systems. This article reviews the effect of sleep fragmentation on the rate of atherosclerosis which has been linked to comorbidities like myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary artery disease with an aim to educate patients regarding the importance of sleep hygiene and to incorporate a good amount and quality of sleep as life style modification along with diet and exercise.
