The effect of CPAP therapy on heart rate variability in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Sleep and biological rhythms, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the initiation of CPAP therapy and HRV in patients with OSA. The study group consisted of 37 patients, aged 34-79 (mean 54.95 years) with OSA treated with CPAP. Two subgroups of patients were distinguished: less than severe (AHI < 30,
