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

STUDY

objectivesMandibular advancement splints (MAS) are often preferred to CPAP treatment for OSA but are not always equally efficacious. High therapeutic CPAP pressure has been associated with MAS treatment failure in a Japanese population. We sought to assess the relationship between CPAP pressure and MAS treatment response in an Australian population.

methodsTherapeutic CPAP pressure and MAS treatment response were obtained from a one-month crossover trial of both treatments. Predictive utility of CPAP pressure to identify MAS treatment response was assessed.

resultsSeventy-eight OSA patients were included (age 49.3 ± 11.1 years, BMI 29.1 ± 5.8 kg/m(2)) with predominantly moderate-severe OSA (AHI 30.0 ± 12.7/h). CPAP pressure was lower in MAS responders (MAS AHI < 10/h) 9.7 ± 1.6 vs. 11.7 ± 2.4 cm H O, p < 0.01, with area under ROC curve of 0.74 (95% CI 0.63-0.86), p < 0.01. The best cutoff value of 10.5 cm H O useful for discriminating MAS responders and non-responders in the previous Japanese population, was inadequate for prediction in the current population (0.47 negative predictive value [NPV]). However a cutoff of 13 cm H O identified MAS non-responders (1.0 NPV). Multivariate regression identified CPAP pressure (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.53 [0.33-0.87], age (0.93 [0.87-0.99]) and AHI (0.92 [0.86-0.97]) as predictors of MAS treatment response (model r(2) = 0.54, p < 0.001).

conclusionsIn Australian patients, the majority of whom are Caucasian, a higher therapeutic CPAP pressure requirement in conjunction with age and OSA severity characteristics may be useful to indicate likelihood of success with MAS as an alternative therapy.
