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

STUDY

objectivesTo assess early adherence to therapy with hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy.

methodsThis is a prospective study of consecutive patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who underwent implantation of hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy within a single academic practice and attended a follow-up appointment after greater than 30 days of therapy use. Objective adherence data were extracted from an objective monitoring database and compared to patient characteristics.

resultsThe study population was 79 participants who were 29.1% female with a mean age of 58.7 ± 12.8 years old, body mass index of 28.9 ± 3.4 kg/m

conclusionsEarly adherence to hypoglossal nerve stimulation is excellent (92.4% >4 hours on >70% of nights), suggesting that the acclimatization period is straightforward in most. Younger age and a history of prior upper airway surgery appear to be associated with an increased risk of difficulty with acclimatization. CITATION: Huyett P. Early objective adherence to hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy.
