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

abstractContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is currently the reference treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The use of a face mask, although sometimes necessary, is often associated with increased airway obstruction due to mandibular retrusion. We report a small group of patients in whom addition of a cervical collar to a face mask allowed correction of obstructive events.
