Factors Affecting Long-Term Compliance of CPAP Treatment-A Single Centre Experience.
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 20 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
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been the standard treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSA) for almost four decades. Though usually effective, this treatment suffers from poor long-term compliance. Therefore, the aim of our one centre retrospective study was to assess factors responsible for treatment failure and long-term compliance. Four hundred subsequent patients diagnosed with OSA and qualified for CPAP treatment were chosen from our database and compliance data were obtained from medical charts. Many differing factors kept patients from starting CPAP or led to termination of treatment. Overall, almost half of patients ended treatment during the mean time of observation of 3.5 years. Survival analysis revealed that 25% of patients failed at a median time of 38.2 months. From several demographic and clinical covariates in Cox's hazard model, only the presence of a mild OSA, i.e., AHI (apnoea/hypopnoea index) below 15/h was a factor strongly associated with long term CPAP failure. The compliance results of our study are in line with numerous studies addressing this issue. Contrary to them, some demographic or clinical variables that we used in our survival model were not related to CPAP adherence.
