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

Selective upper airway stimulation (UAS) is a novel therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of this study was to analyze the application and outcome of UAS in patients with moderate to severe OSA in the clinical routine of a tertiary referral center. The design of this study is single-center, prospective clinical trial. Thirty-one patients who received a UAS device (Inspire Medical Systems) were included. Treatment outcome was evaluated at 2, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Data collection included demographics, body mass index (BMI), apnea hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen saturation and desaturation index (ODI), Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS), adverse events, and adherence to therapy. Sher criteria were used to evaluate treatment response. The mean age was 59.6 years with thirty patients being male. Mean BMI was 28.8 kg/m
