Prevalence of Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Cheyne-Stokes Respiration in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular 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
Background: Limited data are available regarding the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), particularly Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SDB and CSR, as well as the factors associated with these conditions, in patients with AF without LV systolic dysfunction. Methods: Patients with paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal AF underwent echocardiography and cardiorespiratory polygraphy. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and %CSR as the dependent variables. Results: A total of 462 patients were enrolled; 335 patients (72.5%) were diagnosed with SDB (AHI ≥5/h), with a median AHI of 10.3 events per hour (interquartile range, 4.7-20.8). CSR was observed in 107 patients (23.2%). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, sex, body mass index, and hypertension were independently correlated with AHI ( Conclusion: SDB and CSR were common in patients with AF. CSR was observed in older patients with DM and high NT-proBNP levels.
