Partial epiglottectomy improves residual apnea-hypopnea index in patients with epiglottis collapse.
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. Cited by 7 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
Continuous positive airway pressure treatment aggravates airway obstruction in patients with epiglottis collapse. In these patients, partial epiglottectomy can resolve epiglottis collapse by partial excision of the obstructed epiglottis. However, patients with epiglottic collapse usually have simultaneous obstructions on multiple levels, such as the soft palate, base of the tongue, etc. Therefore, sleep apnea cannot be controlled merely by resolving epiglottis collapse. The use of additional continuous positive airway pressure treatment after partial epiglottectomy is considered essential. However, no studies have yet evaluated the effect of partial epiglottectomy on continuous positive airway pressure treatment. In this study, we report on 2 patients with obstructive sleep apnea who underwent partial epiglottectomy. These 2 patients used autotitrating positive airway pressure treatment pre- and postoperatively. The present case report will provide insight into the effects of partial epiglottectomy on the use of positive-pressure devices.
