Telemonitor care helps CPAP compliance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a systemic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Article in Therapeutic advances in chronic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
backgroundThis was a meta-analysis of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compliance. We compared telemonitor (TM) care with usual care and supervised PAP titration (SPT) in the sleep unit with home auto-adjusting pressure titration (HAPT) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
methodsWe searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Medline for appropriate randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared TM care with usual care for patients with OSA. Review Manager 5.3 was used for all comparisons and analyses.
resultsOur meta-analysis included 19 studies involving a total of 2464 patients with OSA; CPAP compliance was significantly higher in the TM care group [mean difference (MD) 0.68 h, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.48-0.89 h,
conclusionsTM care was associated with significantly greater CPAP compliance compared with usual care. Also, HAPT was not inferior to SPT for CPAP compliance.
