Impact of adherence and study design on CPAP effectiveness in resistant hypertension.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This letter comments on the recent article by Fernandes et al. evaluating the long-term effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with resistant hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea. While the study provides valuable insights into prolonged CPAP use, its non-randomized design and reliance on per-protocol analyses limit the generalizability of the findings. Evidence from previous randomized and multicenter studies suggests that the benefits of CPAP are modest and often diminish over time. Moreover, the exclusive focus on blood pressure outcomes overlooks broader cardiovascular effects, and the role of psychosocial and socioeconomic determinants of adherence remains underexplored. Future large-scale, randomized studies that integrate clinical and behavioral factors are needed to better define the long-term role of CPAP in resistant hypertension management.
