The effect of in-lab polysomnography and home sleep polygraphy on sleep position.

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
purposeLittle is known regarding the influence of in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG) equipment on sleep position, especially on the prevalence of supine positioning, which in many cases may lead to a more severe sleep apnea diagnosis. The aim of this study was to assess the percentage of supine sleep during an in-laboratory PSG compared to that seen during a home sleep apnea test (HSAT).
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study comparing in-laboratory PSG and HSAT using a peripheral arterial tone (PAT) technology device.
resultsOf 445 PSG and 416 HSAT studies analyzed, there was no significant difference in the proportion of supine sleep time between PSG (44%) and HSAT (45%, p = 0.53). Analysis of the differences in sleep position (supine versus non-supine), analyzed by sex, BMI (≥ 30 kg/m2 versus < 30 kg/m2), and age (≥ 60 years versus < 60 years), was significant only for women, who had more supine sleep during HSAT at 61 ± 24% than during PSG at 45 ± 26% (p < 0.001).
conclusionOverall there was no difference in the percentage of supine sleep when comparing in-laboratory PSG to HSAT. However, women had more supine sleep with HSAT than with PSG.
