Cardiac consequences of intermittent hypoxia: a matter of dose? A systematic review and meta-analysis in rodents.

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
aimIntermittent hypoxia (IH) is considered to be a major contributor to obstructive sleep apnoea-related cardiovascular consequences. The present meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of IH on cardiac remodelling, function and infarct size after myocardial ischaemia across different rodent species and IH severities. METHODS AND
resultsRelevant articles from PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were screened. We performed a random effect meta-analysis to assess the effect of IH on myocardium in rodents by using standardised mean difference (SMD). Studies using rodents exposed to IH and outcomes related to cardiac remodelling, contractile function and response to myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion were included. 5217 articles were screened and 92 were included, demonstrating that IH exposure induced cardiac remodelling, characterised by cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (cross-sectional area: SMD=2.90, CI (0.82-4.98), I
conclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated that severe IH systematically induces cardiac remodelling and contractile dysfunction in rodents, which might trigger or aggravate chronic heart failure. Interestingly, this meta-analysis showed that, depending on stimulus severity, IH exhibits both protective and aggravating effects on infarct size after experimental ischaemia-reperfusion procedures.
