Upper airway surgery to rescue the "untitratable" patient with OSA and obesity.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
None: This is a case report of an 41-year-old male with obesity (body mass index 90 kg/m²), severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and an apnea-hypopnea index of 90 events/h despite high bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP). He presented to the PAP Alternatives Clinic and underwent tonsillectomy, expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty, and partial uvulectomy to improve positive airway pressure effectiveness. Postoperative BPAP retitration resolved the patient's OSA. The patient is currently using BPAP therapy at home with improvement in both objective and self-reported OSA outcomes.
