Effects of obstructive sleep apnea on myocardial injury and dysfunction: a review focused on the molecular mechanisms of intermittent hypoxia.
Review in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by intermittent hypoxia (IH) and is strongly associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Myocardial injury and dysfunction have been commonly observed in clinical practice, particularly in patients with severe OSA. However, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. In this review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms by which IH impact on myocardial injury and dysfunction. In brief, IH-induced cardiomyocyte death proceeds through the regulation of multiple biological processes, including differentially expressed transcription factors, alternative epigenetic programs, and altered post-translational modification. Besides cell death, various cardiomyocyte injuries, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, occurs with IH. In addition to the direct effects on cardiomyocytes, IH has been found to deteriorate myocardial blood and energy supply by affecting the microvascular structure and disrupting glucose and lipid metabolism. For better diagnosis and treatment of OSA, further studies on the molecular mechanisms of IH-induced myocardial injury and dysfunction are essential.
