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

introductionMandibular advancement device (MAD) may represent a feasible choice in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), in well selected patients.

objectiveThe aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of MAD in patients with OSAHS, using split night polysomnography (SNP).

methodWe performed an auto controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy of MAD in 30 patients with snoring and OSAHS. Clinical evaluation was made every 2 weeks to adjust treatment and observe changes in clinical symptoms. Three-months after placement of the MAD, a SNP was performed, using the MAD in the second half of the night, in order to compare the respiratory results.

resultsSNP show significant changes with use of MAD (p<0.05) such as: Decrease in Snore index (from 159.95 to 32.46/h) and in Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI, from 22.45 to 4.63/h), increase in oxygen saturation (SaO

conclusionOur data supports that the use of MAD is an alternative in the management of OSAHS, in well selected patients, used in a multidisciplinary fashion, and evaluated using a SNP.
