1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

STUDY

objectivesThe study objective was to examine the effect of coronavirus disease on treatment adherence and self-reported sleep duration among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated with positive airway pressure therapy.

methodsThis was a retrospective review of medical records of patients seen in the Sleep and Circadian Clinic at Brigham Health during the immediate period of 1 month after the national lockdown was announced on March 15, 2020. Patients with OSA were included only if positive airway pressure adherence data were available in the 12 months before and in the month after the lockdown. Patients with other sleep disorders and patients with OSA without adherence data were excluded.

resultsThe mean age of the patients was 63.5 ± 13.9 years, 55% of the participants were men, and the mean body mass index was 31.8 ± 7.9 kg/m². Severe OSA was noted among 59.5% compared with 29.3% with moderate OSA, and 11.2% with mild OSA. An increased number of patients reported insomnia after the lockdown (41% vs 48%, P = .02). Sex stratification showed worsening insomnia only among women. There was no significant difference in positive airway pressure adherence as measured by hours of use, self-reported sleep duration, or use of sleep medications.

conclusionsPost- coronavirus disease lockdown had a negative impact on sleep as evidenced by increased reporting of insomnia, particularly among women, but no impact on positive airway pressure adherence or self-reported sleep duration.
