Effects on obstructive sleep apnea severity following a tailored behavioral sleep medicine intervention aimed at increased physical activity and sound eating: an 18-month follow-up of a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report 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. It is linked to trial NCT01102920 (Health Behaviour Modifications in Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Tailored Behavioural Medicine Strategies to Promote Physical Activity and Weight Loss.), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
STUDY
objectivesPositive effects have been reported following a behavioral sleep medicine (BSM) intervention targeting physical activity and eating behavior in addition to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Long-term follow-up remains to be explored. The aim was to examine the long-term effects of a tailored BSM intervention addressing physical activity and eating behavior in addition to CPAP treatment in patients with moderate to severe OSA combined with overweight and physical inactivity. Further, the aim was to identify variables at baseline, associated with treatment success regarding OSA severity.
methodsSixty participants (body mass index: 34.5 ± 5.0 kg/m²; apnea-hypopnea index [AHI]: 43.7 ± 21.2 events/h) completed the randomized controlled trial with a follow-up at 18 months. The participants were randomized to either a control group treated with CPAP or an experimental group treated with CPAP and a BSM intervention targeting physical activity and eating behavior changes. OSA was categorized as mild (AHI: 5 to <14.9 events/h), moderate (AHI: 15 to <29.9 events/h), or severe (AHI ≥30 events/h).
resultsBeing in the experimental group was associated with a larger improvement (B = -9.353, P = .029) in AHI at the 18-month follow-up compared with being in the control group when adjusting for baseline AHI and body mass index. Improvement in OSA category occurred more frequently in the experimental group participants (n = 11; 36.7%) compared with the control group (n = 2; 6.7%). Deterioration in OSA category was found in 1 (3.3%) participant in the experimental group and 3 (10%) in the control group.
conclusionsThe importance of a BSM intervention as an adjunct treatment in patients with OSA is emphasized due to its long-term benefits. CLINICAL
