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

STUDY

objectivesType 3 home sleep apnea tests may underestimate the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) due to overestimation of total sleep time (TST). We aimed to evaluate the effect of manual editing of the total recording time (TRT) on the TST and AHI.

methodsThirty 15-channel in-home polysomnography studies (AHI 0 to 30 events/h) scored using American Academy of Sleep Medicine criteria were rescored by two blinded polysomnologists after data from electroencephalogram, electrooculogram, and electromyogram were masked. In method 1, periods of probable wakefulness and artifact were manually edited and removed from analysis. Method 2 identified TST as the TRT without manual editing. Paired

resultsTST (mean [standard deviation, SD]) by polysomnography, method 1, and method 2 was 366.0 (70.1), 447.1 (59.0), and 542 (61.9) min, respectively. The corresponding AHI was 12.5 (8.2), 10.8 (7.0), and 9.1 (6.1) events/h, respectively. Compared to polysomnography, both alternative methods overestimated the TST (method 1: mean difference [SD] 81.1 [56.1] min, method 2: 176.0 [89.7] min; both p < 0.001) and underestimated the AHI (method 1: mean difference [SD] -1.6 [3.3], method 2: -3.3 [3.9]; both p < 0.001). The sensitivity was 100% and 70.0% for method 1, and 91.3% and 40.0% for method 2 for identifying sleep-disordered breathing using AHI cutoffs of ≥ 5 and ≥ 15 events/h, respectively.

conclusionsManual editing of TRT reduces the overestimation of TST and improves the sensitivity for identifying studies with sleep-disordered breathing. COMMENTARY: A commentary on this article appears in this issue on page 9.
