The rhythm Holter values of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2026. 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
backgroundThis study aims to investigate the common arrhythmias seen in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the association between the rhythm Holter values and OSA.
methodsA 24-hour rhythm Holter monitor was attached to 90 patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (mean age 48.65 ± 8.41). All patients' medical histories were taken, and laboratory tests were conducted. Single-night polysomnographies were scored under the recommendations of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
resultsThere was no significant difference in age between the study and the control groups. No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups regarding gender distribution. The study group's minimum heart rate was significantly lower. The difference in supraventricular ectopy percentage (SVE) between the study and control groups was statistically significant. An important difference was also observed between the groups in terms of ventricular ectopics (VE) percentage.
conclusionsIn OSA, hypoxemia may increase vagal tone and create a predisposition for arrhythmias. Also, increased vagal activity observed in OSA, leads to relative bradycardia during obstructive events which may be due to the diving reflex, and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. The rhythm Holter is a useful non-invasive test for the early arrhythmia diagnosis in patients with OSA. Also, conducting polysomnography in patients with arrhythmias detected by Holter monitoring may facilitate early OSA diagnosis and improve treatment.
