Obstructive Sleep Apneas and Cardiovascular Diseases.
Review in Clocks & sleep, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-disordered breathing condition characterized by recurrent upper-airway obstruction, leading to intermittent hypoxemia, sleep fragmentation, and sympathetic activation. OSA is highly prevalent in patients with cardiovascular diseases and is strongly associated with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and adverse prognosis. This review summarizes current evidence on the pathophysiology of OSA, its cardiovascular consequences, and available diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, with particular attention to clinical implications in cardiology practice. We discuss established treatments such as lifestyle interventions, continuous positive airway pressure, mandibular advancement devices, and selected surgical options, as well as emerging therapies, including pharmacological approaches targeting weight loss and ventilatory control. While OSA treatment improves symptoms and quality of life, evidence for cardiovascular event reduction remains heterogeneous and appears strongly influenced by patient selection and treatment adherence. Identifying patients most likely to benefit from targeted OSA management remains a key challenge.
