Belun Ring Platform: a novel home sleep apnea testing system for assessment of obstructive sleep apnea.
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. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map.

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

Abstract
STUDY
objectivesThe objective of the study is to validate the performance of Belun Ring Platform, a novel home sleep apnea testing system using a patented pulse oximeter sensor and a proprietary cloud-based neural networks algorithm.
methodsThe Belun Ring captures oxygen saturation, photoplethysmography, and accelerometer signals. The Belun Ring total sleep time is derived from features extracted from accelerometer, oxygen saturation, and photoplethysmography signals. The Belun Ring respiratory event index is derived from Belun Ring total sleep time and features extracted from heart rate variability and oxygen saturation changes. A total of 50 adults without significant cardiopulmonary or neuromuscular comorbidities and heart rate affecting medications were evaluated. In-lab sleep studies were performed simultaneously with the Ring and the studies were manually scored using the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Scoring Manual 4% desaturation criteria.
resultsThe Belun Ring respiratory event index correlated well with the polysomnography-apnea-hypopnea index (AHI; r = .894, P < .001). The sensitivity and specificity in categorizing AHI ≥ 15 events/h were 0.85 and 0.87, respectively, and the positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 0.88 and 0.83, respectively. The Belun Ring total sleep time also correlated well with the polysomnography-total sleep time (r = .945, P < .001). Although the Belun Ring Platform has a good overall performance, it tends to overestimate AHI in individuals with AHI under 15 events/h and underestimate AHI in those with AHI over 15 events/h. Conclusions: In this proof-of-concept study, the Belun Ring Platform demonstrated a reasonable accuracy in predicting AHI and total sleep time in patients without significant comorbidities and heart rate-affecting medications.
