The accuracy of autotitrating CPAP-determined residual apnea-hypopnea index.

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
purposeAutotitrating continuous positive airway pressure (auto-CPAP) devices not only titrate CPAP pressures but also measure residual respiratory events. The aim of the present study was to determine the accuracy of auto-CPAP-derived residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).
methodsWe studied 137 consecutive patients (72.3% men) with obstructive sleep apnea from January 2008 to December 2010 who underwent in-laboratory overnight polysomnography (PSG) using auto-CPAP. We excluded patients with comorbidities like congestive heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or hypoventilation syndromes and patients with central sleep apnea. Residual AHI obtained from the auto-CPAP device by smart card (CPAP-AHI) was compared simultaneously with AHI from an overnight PSG on auto-CPAP (PSG-AHI) using Bland-Altman analysis and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
resultsThe mean AHI on the diagnostic study was 45.08 ± 1.8. During the titration, auto-CPAP markedly suppressed the respiratory events (PSG-AHI, 3.40 ± 0.20). On the other hand, CPAP-AHI was 3.35 ± 0.17. Bland-Altman analysis showed good agreement between auto-CPAP-AHI and PSG-AHI (AHI mean difference of 0.05, and the limits of agreement for the AHI were from +4.9 to -4.8). Two methods have also been compared with paired samples t test and no statistically significant difference was found (p > 0.05).
conclusionAuto-CPAP can identify residual respiratory events equivalent to the use of PSG in a selected population.
