Short- and long-term continuous positive airway pressure usage in the post-stroke population with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04399200 (Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposeObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in post-stroke patients and observational evidence suggests that untreated it is a harbinger of poorer outcomes in this population. Clinical trials on the impact of treatment of OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) have countered difficulties with patient engagement and adherence to CPAP therapy. Real-world data on continuous positive airway pressure initiation and usage in the post-stroke population with obstructive sleep apnea is limited.
methodsWe performed a clinical retrospective study between January 2006 and June 2015 to describe the short- and long-term CPAP usage in the post-stroke population with OSA, and to assess which patient, disease, and treatment-related factors were associated with CPAP purchase, initiation, and usage in this population.
resultsOf 191 post-stroke patients' recommended CPAP therapy, post-prescription usage at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 60 months was 58%, 53%, 48%, 45%, and 39% respectively. OSA severity-related factors, such as AHI or degree of nocturnal hypoxemia, were not significantly associated with CPAP usage. Predictors of CPAP usage at all time points were younger age, male sex, never smokers, and no history of hypertension. There were some differences in predictors of CPAP usage between early and later time periods.
conclusionsWe demonstrated that the long-term usage of CPAP therapy is possible with most of the attrition occurring in the first 3 months. Upfront healthcare resource allocation to CPAP initiation and usage in this population may improve longer-term usage.
