Cardiovascular and metabolic effects of a mandibular advancement device and continuous positive airway pressure in moderate obstructive sleep apnea: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01588275 (Cost-effectiveness of obstRuctivE Sleep Apnea Therapy), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
STUDY
objectivesIt has been suggested that treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) reduces cardiovascular risk. So far, knowledge is limited about the difference in the reduction of this risk between mandibular advancement device (MAD) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the cardiovascular effects of MAD vs CPAP therapy in patients with moderate OSA.
methodsPatients with an apnea-hypopnea index of 15-30 events/h were randomized to either MAD or CPAP therapy. At baseline and after 12-month follow-up, 24-hour ambulant blood pressure measurements and laboratory measurements were performed. Ambulant blood pressure measurements consisted of 24-hour, daytime and night-time systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate measurements. Laboratory measurements consisted of serum lipid values, creatinine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c glycated hemoglobin, proinflammatory cytokines, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products, chemokines, and adhesion molecules.
resultsOf the 85 randomized patients with moderate OSA, data were available for 54 patients (n = 24 MAD, n = 30 CPAP) at 12-month follow-up and showed that apnea-hypopnea index significantly decreased with either therapy. In the MAD group, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products and glycated hemoglobin were significantly higher after 12 months' follow-up compared to baseline. No significant changes were found between MAD and CPAP treatments for all outcomes.
conclusionsTreatment of patients with moderate OSA with either MAD or CPAP therapy had no profound effects on major cardiovascular risk factors after 12 months. CLINICAL
