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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundNasal insufflation (NI) is a novel treatment method that has been introduced for improving respiration during sleep. NI’s warmed and humidified nasal airflow provides ventilatory assistance delivered as a rapidly dispersed pressure head, with minimal side wall pressures, that may affect treatment tolerability. The aim of the current study was to investigate objective and subjective adherence rates for NI therapy in mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

methodsTen patients (three men and seven women; age, 51.3 ± 9.6 years; BMI, 32.2 ± 7.7 kg/m2 [mean ± sd]) with recently diagnosed mild to moderate OSA (10.9 ± 5.8 events/h) were investigated. A crossover design was used to compare adherence to NI and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy using a range of objective and subjective measurements. Objective (sleep efficiency (%) and arousal indices (arousal/h)) and subjective evaluations of sleep quality were carried out each night in the laboratory. During in-home treatment, adherence for both therapies was assessed objectively (time on therapy) and subjectively (self-reported sleep diary).

resultsObjectively derived adherence values were comparable for CPAP and NI, with both treatment devices sharing similar usage per night (3.5 ± 2.5 vs. 3.6 ± 1.6 h/night; respectively) and the number of nights with at least 4 h of treatment (5.5 ± 4.3 vs. 6.8 ± 3.3 nights/trial, respectively). Self-reported adherence was significantly higher than objectively assessed adherence (p < 0.03).

conclusionsThis study showed similar adherence to NI and CPAP over a short period of usage. A randomized clinical trial is now essential for determining the comparative effectiveness of NI therapy in relation to treatment with CPAP.
