Residual excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea treated with positive airway pressure therapy.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposePatients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) commonly report residual excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) despite treatment with positive airway pressure (PAP). The present study aimed to determine whether patients presenting with subjective sleepiness after treatment with PAP therapy had objective evidence of residual sleepiness.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 29 adults with OSA on PAP therapy who underwent a standardized evaluation for EDS. Patients were evaluated with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and attend an in-lab polysomnogram (PSG) with PAP followed by a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT).
resultsOur cohort consisted of 23 men (79%) and 6 women (21%) with a mean age of 40.7 years. All patients were subjectively sleepy with an ESS score of > 10 and met minimal PAP usage of 4 h a night for at least 70% of nights with a residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≤ 10. On MSLT, 31% of patients had an average sleep onset latency (SOL) < 8 min, 35% had a SOL between 8 and 11 min, and 35% had SOL > 11 min.
conclusionAfter optimizing PAP therapy and sleep in patients with OSA and residual EDS, the majority were found to have objective findings of an abnormally short SOL on MSLT. This is further evidence that there is a distinct OSA phenotype that will have persistent EDS despite appropriate treatment of their sleep-disordered breathing. Objective testing to quantify the degree of sleepiness is recommended for OSA patients with residual EDS.
