Platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome affects nocturnal oxygen desaturation: A case report.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A woman in her late 20s who had received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in childhood for ventricular arrhythmia was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnoea (apnoea-hypopnoea index, 77.1/h), and she began continuous positive airway pressure treatment. Before initiating this treatment, she had moderate hypoxaemia of unknown cause. She was admitted for adjustment of the position of her implantable cardioverter defibrillator, which had caused purple discoloration and ulceration of the overlying skin. On admission, she had dyspnoea and her arterial oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry significantly decreased while sitting. This led to detection of a patent foramen ovale and a right-to-left shunt while sitting. We diagnosed platypnoea-orthodeoxia syndrome with an atrial septal defect. Atrial septal defects should be suspected in hypoxic patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.
