[Arrhythmia in sleep apnea].
Review in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2024. 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
backgroundSleep apnea is a widespread and yet still underdiagnosed condition. Various studies from the past have provided evidence that there is a link between sleep apnea and various cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias.
objectiveThe aim of this article is to provide an overview of the current study situation and to point out possible consequences relevant to everyday life. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic search was carried out in various databases using the keywords sleep apnea (OSAS/SA) and arrhythmias/dysrhythmias.
resultsThere are several pathophysiological links between sleep-related breathing disorders and cardiac arrhythmias, the most important of which appear to be intrathoracic pressure, increased adrenergic tone as well as recurrent hypoxia and hypercapnia. This results in an increased occurrence of clinically relevant arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, symptomatic bradycardia, high-grade atrioventricular (AV) blocks as well as ventricular arrhythmias in patients with untreated sleep apnea. These pathologies also appear to be positively influenced by the treatment of sleep apnea.
conclusionA close correlation between sleep apnea and cardiac arrhythmias is undisputed. Large randomized studies in this respect are so far rare but it is undisputed that a thorough search should be carried out for sleep apnea and consistently treated in patients with a history of cardiac disease as this can have a relevant influence on the treatment and ultimately the prognosis of the patient.
