A comparison between auto-scored apnea-hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index in the characterization of positional obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveEvaluate the concordance between overall and positional oxygen desaturation indices (ODI) and apnea-hypopnea indices (AHI) according to two different definitions for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA).
methodsA total of 184 in-home polysomnograms were edited to simulate Level III home sleep apnea tests (HSAT) with the auto-scored AHI and ODI based on recording time. POSA was determined using 132 records with an AHI≥5 and at least 20 mins of recording time in both supine and non-supine positions. POSA was defined independently for the AHI and ODI based on ratios of overall/non-supine event/h ≥1.4 (O/NS) and supine/non-supine event/h≥2.0 (S/NS).
resultsCorrelation between the AHI and ODI was 0.97 overall, 0.94 for supine, and 0.96 for non-supine recording times (all
conclusionsAuto-scored positional oximetry is a clinically viable alternative to an auto-scored Level III HSAT AHI in the characterization of POSA based on a 3% desaturation.
