Predictive factors for CPAP failure in obstructive sleep apnea patients.

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
objectivesSome patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) do not respond to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and for these patients, Bi-level PAP is the next level modality. This study by a theory driven hierarchical approach, tries to identify the predictors for CPAP failure among OSA patients. METHODOLOGY: The potential predictors for the model were identified from a theoretical framework rooted in clinical examination, laboratory parameters, and polysomnographic variables pertaining to OSA patients. All patients of OSA who underwent manual titration with CPAP or Bi-level PAP (in case of CPAP Failure) between June 2015 and October 2017 were included in model building. This study compared five competitive models blocks deliberated by increasing order of diagnostic complexity and availability of resources. The fitting of the model was determined by both internal and external validation.
resultsAmong the five competitive models, the selected model has the significant deviance reduction (-2LL = 121.99, X
conclusionThese five factors (acronym as BIPAP) may aid to the clinical decision-making by predicting failure of CPAP and therefore may assist in more vigilant clinical care.
