Sleep-disordered breathing and the risk of cognitive decline: a meta-analysis of 19,940 participants.
Synthesis in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is related to the incidence of cognitive decline. However, results of cohort studies were inconsistent. We performed a meta-analysis of cohort studies to evaluate the sequential association between SDB and cognitive decline. Cohort studies were identified by the searching of PubMed and Embase databases. A random effect model was applied to combine the results. Nineteen thousand nine hundred forty participants from six cohort studies were included. Participants with SDB at baseline had significantly higher risk of cognitive decline, as indicated by a combined outcome of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia (RR = 1.69, p < 0.001; I
