Developing OurSleepKit: A Couple-focused mHealth Tool to Support Adherence to Positive Airway Pressure Treatment.
Article in Behavioral sleep medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimExisting interventions promoting positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence focus only on the diagnosed individual, despite the fact that partners are often the most impacted by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and are delivered mostly by health professionals, with limited success. The goal of this work is to develop a prototype of OurSleepKit, a couple-focused mobile health (mHealth) tool to coach mutual engagement and promote adherence to PAP treatment.
methodsWe used an iterative participatory approach working with future end users of OurSleepKit to support the development of this prototype. We conducted a total of 14 semi-structured in-depth open-ended dyadic interviews with OSA patients and their partners. Phase 1 of the development was to inform key functions of an engaging tool. Phase 2 focused on developing functions to engage positive conversation in the dyad and obtained feedback for this initial prototype.
resultsThe OurSleepKit prototype was developed and demonstrated high acceptability and engagement. Three key functions included periodic assessments based on developmental stages of PAP treatment, a Coaching Board which provides customized and dynamically updated support content - primarily brief story-telling videos featuring real-life couples' experiences - and timely tailored prompts (for
conclusionsGoing beyond the traditional and prevailing view of PAP use as an individual phenomenon, OurSleepKit is a novel mHealth intervention engaging both the patient and partner holding great promise to promote PAP adherence.
