Polysomnographic findings of multiple system atrophy: evidence from case-control studies.
Synthesis in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
STUDY
objectivesThis study examines the polysomnographic differences between patients with multiple system atrophy and healthy controls.
methodsAn electronic literature search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, All EBM databases and the Web of Science database from inception to August 2024.
resultsMeta-analysis found significant reductions in percent rapid eye movement sleep, sleep efficiency, and total sleep time, and increases in the apnea-hypopnea index, percent non-REM sleep stage 1, periodic limb movement index and sleep latency in patients with multiple system atrophy compared with healthy controls.
conclusionsOur meta-analysis found polysomnographic abnormalities in patients with multiple system atrophy compared with controls. Future studies should include methodological considerations (ie, rapid eye movement sleep without atonia criteria) to evaluate the contributions of potential heterogeneous factors (ie, disease duration, presence of stridor, comorbidity of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder) to polysomnographic changes in multiple system atrophy.
