Narrative review of sleep and pulmonary hypertension.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition of raised pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), which may be secondary to a number of causes, one of which is sleep disordered breathing (SDB). When PH complicates SDB, it carries a significant burden of morbidity and mortality due to the risk of progression to right ventricular failure over time. This narrative review will cover the definition and classification of PH, and explore the epidemiology of PH in SDB. The mechanisms by which the two conditions are linked will be reviewed. Repetitive hypoxia with or without hypercapnia alongside frequent arousals can result in important metabolic and pulmonary vascular consequences for the left and right heart. MEDLINE was used to search for all relevant articles and abstracts published from January 1960 to October 2019 inclusive (in all languages). Current best practice in the investigation and management of PH complicating SDB will be reviewed. Important diagnostic investigations and when to consider and screen further for PH in patients with SDB will be discussed. Optimal disease management must include control of SDB with therapy. Additional treatment options will be reviewed. Areas for further research will be highlighted.
