Longitudinal Assessment of Sleep Apnea in the Year After Stroke in a Population-Based Study.
Article in Stroke, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to characterize change in sleep-disordered breathing severity in the year following stroke, overall, and by ethnicity, within the population-based Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi Project.
methodsFirst-ever ischemic strokes (n=414) were ascertained by active and passive surveillance and validated by stroke-trained physicians. Patients with stroke were invited to participate in portable sleep apnea testing (ApneaLink Plus) at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months poststroke. Sleep-disordered breathing severity was assessed by the respiratory event index (apneas and hypopneas/hour of recording). The component obstructive apnea index and central apnea index were also assessed. Time and ethnicity effects on outcomes, as well as ethnic differences in time effects, were analyzed using generalized estimating equations with multivariable adjustment for confounding factors.
resultsMean age (n=414) was 63.9 years (SD=10.9); 68.4% were Mexican American. Baseline mean respiratory event index, obstructive apnea index, and central apnea index were 21.3 (SD=16.6), 8.6 (SD=11.5), and 1.5 (SD=3.2), respectively. There was no time effect on respiratory event index (
conclusionsSleep-disordered breathing severity was significant and stable for most individuals in the year after stroke. These results do not confirm previous reports of diminishing sleep-disordered breathing severity over time after stroke and would support early assessment and treatment where indicated.
