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.

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.

Abstract

purposeObstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) may affect cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), representing cerebrovascular endothelial function, through complex cerebral functional changes. This study aimed to evaluate the change of CVR after 1-month and 6-month mandibular advancement device (MAD) treatment of patients with carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) combined with OSAHS.

methodsPatients with carotid atherosclerosis combined with OSAHS who voluntarily accepted Silensor-IL MAD therapy were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent polysomnographic (PSG) examinations and CVR evaluation by breath-holding test using transcranial Doppler ultrasound at baseline (T0), 1 month (T1), and 6 months (T2) of MAD treatment.

resultsOf 46 patients (mean age 54.4 ± 12.4 years, mean body mass index [BMI] 27.5 ± 4.5 kg/m

conclusionEffective MAD therapy is beneficial for restoring cerebrovascular endothelial function in patients with CAS and OSAHS in a short period (1 month and 6 months).
