Pressure adjustment is the most useful intervention for improving compliance in telemonitored patients treated with CPAP in the first 6 months of treatment.

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
purposeTelemonitoring (TMg) for patients treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is now routine care in some sleep labs. The purpose of the present study was to identify technical interventions associated with improved CPAP compliance in a real-life cohort of newly telemonitored patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during the first 6 months of treatment.
methodsAll patients with moderate-to-severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15/h) who were newly treated with CPAP were included in the study and telemonitored. A group educational session was scheduled after 1 month. Technical interventions were performed at the patient's request and during scheduled visits and the impact of each intervention on CPAP therapy compliance was collected.
resultsBetween May 2018 and Dec 2019, 349 patients newly diagnosed with OSA were hospitalized in the sleep lab for CPAP titration and 212 patients were included (mean age 54.6 ± 13.1 years, mean BMI 31.7 ± 5.8 kg/m
conclusionPressure modification was the only adaptation that significantly increased CPAP compliance during the first 6 months. Remote TMg allows providing daily, accurate, and immediate feedback that could help clinicians to confirm that the CPAP treatment is effective.
