Trial reportSleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung2018
Comparison of two home sleep testing devices with different strategies for diagnosis of OSA.
Trial report in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeHome sleep testing devices are being widely used in diagnosis/screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We examined differences in OSA metrics obtained from two devices with divergent home monitoring strategies, the Apnea Risk Evaluation System (ARES™, multiple signals plus forehead reflectance oximetry) and the Nonin WristOx
methodsOne hundred fifty-two male/26 female subjects (BMI = 30.3 ± 5.6 kg/m
resultsCorrelation between AHI4
conclusionsOSA severity metrics predominantly dependent on change in oxygen saturation and metrics used in diagnosis of OSA (AHI4 and ODI) correlated well across devices tested. However, differences in cumulative oxygen desaturation measures (i.e., %time < 90%O2Sat) between the devices suggest that caution is needed when interpreting this metric particularly in populations likely to have significant hypoxia.
