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

In Germany about one third of adults aged between 30 and 69 years suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring, inspiratory flow limitations, hypopneas, and apneas occur, leading to disturbed sleep, reduced daytime performance, and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Positive airway pressure therapy (PAP therapy) can be successfully administered in every OSA severity. However, other conservative treatments have to be considered for some patients, particularly in PAP failure or intolerance. The individual treatment concept is based on poly(somno)graphic, morphological, and functional assessment, taking treatment acceptance, adherence, and compliance into account.
