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

purposeTo compare the short-term treatment effect of a mandibular advancement device (MAD) with and without previous drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) on polysomnography (PSG) and other sleep apnea-related treatment outcomes (Short Form Health Survey [SF-36] and Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]) among adults with mild, moderate, and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We hypothesized that using DISE would improve the efficacy of MADs on the sleep apnea parameters.

methodsThe study sample consisted of patients with OSA who were unable or unwilling to tolerate a CPAP device, divided into an experimental (with DISE) and a control (without DISE) group.

resultsOf 50 patients with OSA, 40 men (80%), mean age was 48.8 ± 12,3 years. The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) score of both groups decreased significantly between baseline and the 8-week follow-up titration PSG with MAD in situ, from 31.7 ± 17.3 (mean ± SD) apnea-hypopnea episodes/h to 7.0 ± 6.4/h (p < 0.0001) in the experimental group, and from 22.5 ± 16.6 episodes/h to 11.4 ± 8.0/h (p < 0.024) in the control group. Capillary oxygen saturation (SpO

conclusionDISE provides a significant benefit to patients with OSA undergoing MAD treatment. It can be used as a valuable prediction tool in clinical practice for the management of patients with OSA, even those with moderate and severe disease.
