Oximetry Monitoring Recommended During PAP Initiation for Sleep Apnea in Patients With Obesity or Nocturnal Hypoxemia.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
STUDY
objectivesNo consensus exists regarding monitoring the initiation of positive airway pressure (PAP) by oximetry. A PAP device report may be insufficient to ensure a good therapeutic response in all patients. This study aimed to identify patients who would potentially benefit from oximetry monitoring during PAP initiation.
methodsPAP initiation was routinely monitored at home with an oximeter. Data were reviewed for all patients who underwent PAP initiation in 2015, including a baseline sleep study and PAP initiation data. Group A included patients with an apnea-hypopnea index as determined from the PAP device (AHI
resultsFrom 787 patients, 723 were included in this study. Among these, 158 had an AHI
conclusionsRelying only on the PAP device parameter to evaluate therapeutic responses provided inconsistent results in one-fifth of cases. Thus, oximetry monitoring during PAP initiation is recommended when baseline SpO
