Alternative Procedure to Individual Nasal Pressure Titration for Sleep Apnea.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the current standard of "CPAP titration" in the laboratory or at home is a resource demanding and costly approach that, in developed economies, markedly augments healthcare costs and in low resource economies precludes access to care altogether. Here, we discuss that current guidelines for titration of CPAP could be obviated by taking a different route that in many ways is similar to the institution of treatment in many other medical conditions. To this effect, we present novel population based data from 16,780 patients, showing that after individualized and labor-intensive and expensive CPAP titration, 86.4% of OSA patients are treated with nasal pressure settings within the range of 9 ± 2 cmH
