Effect of CPAP therapy on job productivity and psychosocial occupational health in patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeThe aim of the present study was to assess the effect of continuous positive airflow pressure (CPAP) therapy on burnout symptoms and job productivity, stress, and satisfaction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
methodsThe sample was composed of 55 patients (mean age 48.5 ± 8.9, BMI 31.1 ± 5.7, AIH 56.8 ± 22.1), diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using polysomnography (PSG) with a therapeutic indication of CPAP. Before and after 6 months of receiving CPAP therapy, participants completed the following questionnaires: the index of the impact of the disease on job productivity (IMPALA), the job content questionnaire(JCQ), the Maslach burnout inventory-general survey (MBI-GS), the Shirom-Melamed burnout questionnaire (SMBQ), the index of job satisfaction, the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). We explored the efficacy of CPAP therapy at improving the indices of severity of OSAS using therapeutic PSG.
resultsCPAP therapy was associated with a beneficial effect on job productivity (IMPALA) (p = 0.000) and decreasing burnout symptoms such as physical fatigue (SMBQ) (p = 0.000), emotional exhaustion (SMBQ) (p = 0.014), cognitive weariness (SMBQ) (p = 0.004), exhaustion (MBI) (p = 0.000), and cynicism (MBI) (p = 0.002). However, CPAP did not decrease job stress or job dissatisfaction. DISCUSSION: In patients with severe OSAS, CPAP therapy has a beneficial effect on patients' occupational well-being and job productivity.
