Disparities in oxygen saturation and hypoxic burden levels in obstructive sleep apnoea patient's response to oral appliance treatment.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundOxygen saturation indices show a strong correlation with long-term health outcomes. Nonetheless, evidence on the relationship between reduction in respiratory events and increase in oxygenation levels following oral appliance (OA) treatment is scarce.
objectivesTo verify the relationship between reduction in the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) and oxygen saturation levels following OA treatment, we have conducted an evaluation of polysomnography (PSG) and clinical parameters associated with the improvement of oxygen desaturation.
methodsOSA patients (n = 48) who received an OA and had pre- and post-treatment PSG were classified into three responder groups according to the change in AHI and min O
resultsThere were 26 (54.17%) responder
conclusionCertain patients do not show sufficient decrease in hypoxaemia in spite of the improvement in AHI. Pre-treatment min O
