Drug-induced sleep endoscopy: the effect of different passive maneuvers on the distribution of collapse patterns of the upper airway in obstructive sleep apnea patients.
Article 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 7 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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of different passive maneuvers (lateral head rotation and jaw thrust) during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) on distribution of collapse patterns at the level of velum, oropharynx, tongue base, and epiglottis (VOTE).
methodsRetrospective, single-center cohort study. Patients diagnosed with OSA who underwent DISE between August 2016 and February 2017 were included. During DISE procedure lateral head rotation, jaw thrust and a combination of both were applied and scored by VOTE obstruction level. Also, the effect of these maneuvers was analyzed for complete concentric collapse (CCC) versus complete non-concentric collapse (CNCC) subgroups.
resultsTwo hundred patients were included (161 male (80.5%), mean age 50.1 ± 11.7 years, median AHI 19.2 (11.7, 31.0) events/h). For lateral head rotation, significant improvement in upper airway collapse at all levels was observed, with exception of the level of the oropharynx, where an increase in obstruction was seen. Jaw thrust resulted in a significant decrease of collapse on all four VOTE levels. The CCC group responded similarly to the CNCC group when only one maneuver was applied, but the CCC group showed less improvement when both maneuvers were combined.
conclusionsThis study gives new insights into the changes in distribution of collapse patterns when passive maneuvers are applied during DISE. Jaw thrust and lateral head rotation gave improvement of obstruction mostly in line with previous research. The CNCC and CCC groups responded similarly to application of a single maneuver, but there was a significant difference found when both maneuvers were combined.
