1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAcoustic snoring sound analysis is a noninvasive method for diagnosis of the mechanical mechanisms causing snoring that can be performed during natural sleep. The objective of this work is development and evaluation of classification schemes for snoring sounds that can provide meaningful diagnostic support. MATERIALS AND

methodsBased on two annotated snoring noise databases with different classifications (s-VOTE with four classes versus ACLTE with five classes), identically structured machine classification systems were trained. The feature extractor openSMILE was used in combination with a linear support vector machine for classification.

resultsWith an unweighted average recall (UAR) of 55.4% for the s‑VOTE model and 49.1% for the ACLTE, the results are at a similar level. In both models, the best differentiation is achieved for epiglottic snoring, while velar and oropharyngeal snoring are more often confused.

conclusionAutomated acoustic methods can help diagnose sleep-disordered breathing. A reason for the restricted recognition performance is the limited size of the training datasets.
