Efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty combined with oral appliance in treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.
Trial report in Irish journal of medical science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the efficacy of UPPP combined with an oral appliance (OA) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
methodsForty patients diagnosed with severe OSAHS were randomly divided into two groups: 20 patients in the pure surgery group treated by uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) surgery and the remaining 20 patients in the combined treatment group for the combined application of UPPP and OA. Nocturnal PSG monitoring was performed in postoperative 0.5 and 3.0a. AHI, SaO₂, and sleep structure improvement were calculated to compare the treatment efficiency of the two groups.
resultsThe AHI of the combined treatment group in the postoperative 3 was lower than that of the pure surgery group, whereas the lowest SaO₂ value was higher than that of the pure surgery group (P < 0.05). The sleep structure improvement of the combined treatment group in the postoperative 3a was possibly more normal than that of the pure surgery group.
conclusionThe long-term efficacy of the combined UPPP and OA for the treatment of OSAHS was higher than that of pure UPPP treatment.
