Sleep is Essential for Cardiovascular Health: An Analytic Review of the Relationship Between Sleep and Cardiovascular Mortality.
Review in American journal of lifestyle medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
The American Heart Association recently included sleep health as one of eight factors that define cardiovascular health. Restorative sleep is a pillar of lifestyle medicine influenced by sleep duration, quality, and disorders. Short and long sleep duration are associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease. Short sleep appears causally related to cardiovascular risk. Long sleep is more strongly predictive of cardiovascular risk, which may be due to comorbidities and other risk factors. Good-quality sleep appears to protect against the increased risk and is independently associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Insomnia, particularly difficulty falling asleep and non-restorative sleep, is associated with an increase in cardiac events. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cardiac risk and outcomes, which is typically observed in the context of contributing comorbidities. However, treating OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may not improve prognosis. Further research is needed to understand the causal mechanisms connecting sleep health with CVD and whether modifying sleep can improve outcomes. Sleep health should be considered as part of a holistic approach to improving cardiovascular health, as reflected in the scoring of LE8 and as one of the interrelated components of lifestyle medicine.
