1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with its prevalence expected to increase to 12.1 million people in the United States by 2030. Chronic underlying conditions that affect the heart and lungs predispose patients to develop atrial fibrillation. Obstructive sleep apnea is strongly associated with atrial fibrillation. Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed to elucidate this relationship which includes electrophysiological substrate modification and the contribution of the autonomic nervous system. In this comprehensive review, we highlight important relationships and plausible causality between obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation which will improve our understanding in the evaluation, management, and prevention of atrial fibrillation. This is the most updated comprehensive review of the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation.
