Sleep apnea severity in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation: Home sleep apnea-test and polysomnography comparison.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 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
Background: Sleep apnea (SA) is highly prevalent and should be treated in patients referred for catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). Watch-type peripheral arterial tonometry (WP) for home SA testing has demonstrated a high correlation of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) with Polysomnography (PSG), but the evidence of its accuracy in AF patients is not adequate. Methods: This study was conducted under a retrospective, single-center, observational design. We included 464 consecutive AF patients (age 65 ± 11 years, 76.5% male, 45.0% paroxysmal-AF) who received both WP and PSG during the periprocedural period of the CA. We compared the AHI using the WP (WP-AHI) to that using PSG (PSG-AHI). Results: The WP-AHI was 25.9 ± 12.7 and PSG-AHI 31.4 ± 18.9 ( Conclusions: The WP-AHI and PSG-AHI were weakly correlated in AF patients receiving CA. About one-third of the patients with moderate SA using the WP was diagnosed with severe SA evaluated by PSG. The majority required PSG for the CPAP indication.
