1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe study compares polysomnography (PSG) and cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) sleep quality variables in patients with (1) obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and (2) successful and unsuccessful continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) response. PATIENTS/

methodsPSGs from 50 subjects (32 F/18 M; mean age 48.4 ± 12.29 years; BMI 34.28 ± 9.33) were evaluated. OSA patients were grouped by no (n = 16), mild (n = 13), and moderate to severe (n = 20) OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≤ 5, >5-15, >15 events/h, respectively). Outcome sleep quality variables were sleep stages in non-rapid eye movement, rapid eye movement sleep, and high (HFC), low (LFC), very low-frequency coupling (VLFC), and elevated LFC broad band (e-LFCBB). An AHI ≤ 5 events/h and HFC ≥ 50 % indicated a successful CPAP response. CPC analysis extracts heart rate variability and QRS amplitude change that corresponds to respiration. CPC-generated spectrograms represent sleep dynamics from calculated coherence product and cross-power of both time series datasets.

resultsT tests differentiated no and moderate to severe OSA groups by REM % (p = 0.003), HFC (p = 0.007), VLFC (p = 0.007), and LFC/HFC ratio (p = 0.038) variables. The successful CPAP therapy group (n = 16) had more HFC (p = 0.003), less LFC (p = 0.003), and e-LFCBB (p = 0.029) compared to the unsuccessful CPAP therapy group (n = 8). PSG sleep quality measures, except the higher arousal index (p = 0.038) in the unsuccessful CPAP group, did not differ between the successful and unsuccessful CPAP groups. HFC ≥ 50 % showed high sensitivity (77.8 %) and specificity (88.9 %) in identifying successful CPAP therapy.

conclusionsPSG and CPC measures differentiated no from moderate to severe OSA groups and HFC ≥ 50 % discriminated successful from unsuccessful CPAP therapy. The HFC ≥ 50 % cutoff showed clinical value in identifying sleep quality disturbance among CPAP users.
