ReviewSleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung2023
Neurocognitive, mood changes, and sleepiness in patients with REM-predominant obstructive sleep apnea.
Review in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeThis article focuses on recent evidence linking rapid eye movement (REM) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (REM-OSA) to neurocognitive dysfunction and mood changes; the proposed mechanisms for increased risk of neurocognitive dysfunction in REM-OSA, and future research prospects.
methodsPubMed and Google Scholar records were examined for articles utilizing pre-defined keywords. In this work, we mainly included studies published after 2017; nevertheless, critical studies published prior to 2017 were considered.
resultsREM-OSA is an under-recognized stage-related sleep-disordered breathing in which obstructive respiratory events happen chiefly in stage REM. The disorder is commonly seen amongst younger patients and females and has recently been linked to cardiometabolic complications. Although less symptomatic than non-REM-OSA and non-stage-specific OSA, current findings indicate that REM-OSA may have neurocognitive repercussions and mood changes and could be linked to insomnia, increased dreams, and nightmares.
conclusionCurrently available evidence indicates that REM-OSA may present with insomnia and nightmares and could affect cognitive function and mood.
