Success of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Using Mandibular Advancement During Sleep Endoscopy.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectives/hypothesisHypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) effectively treats obstructive sleep apnea in select patients. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is required for HGNS candidacy. Data suggest that mandibular advancement (MA) devices and HGNS share similar target populations. We aimed to test the association between MA's effect on the velum and lateral walls during DISE in relation to the improvement in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) with HGNS. STUDY
designProspective case series
methodsAll patients completed preoperative polysomnography or home sleep study, DISE with MA prior to HGNS implantation, and full-night efficacy sleep tests. Adult patients with body mass index (BMI) ≤ 35 and AHI ≥ 15 were included. Two independent reviewers scored DISE videos.
resultsForty-six patients were included from October 2015 to January 2019. Mean BMI (standard deviation) was 28.5 (3.7) kg/m
conclusionsPatients having significant airway improvement in the upper pharynx with MA during DISE appear less likely to succeed with HGNS. This phenomenon might be secondary to the worsened baseline obstruction of the upper pharynx in such patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 2020.
