Sleep Apnoea and Memory (SAM): protocol for a prospective study of prevalence and symptoms of sleep apnoea in memory clinics.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 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
Introduction: Sleep apnoea is common in older adults and a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia but is rarely assessed in memory clinics. The Sleep Apnoea and Memory (SAM) study will assess the prevalence of sleep apnoea and identify optimal screening for sleep apnoea in memory clinics. Methods: SAM is a prospective observational multi-site study recruiting adults attending NHS memory clinics. Participants will undergo a single night of polygraphy using a home sleep apnoea test (WatchPAT Discussion: The SAM study will improve understanding of the extent of sleep apnoea in people attending memory clinics and inform design of an interventional trial for treating sleep apnoea in patients with cognitive impairment. Treating sleep apnoea in memory clinics may help to improve symptoms and/or prognosis for people experiencing memory problems.
