Factors associated with treatment outcomes after use of auto-titrating CPAP therapy in adults with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo determine factors that are associated with OSA therapy outcomes with auto-titrating positive airway pressure (APAP).
methodsWe sequentially grouped patients from a retrospective cohort based on APAP efficacy (sufficiently vs. insufficiently treated; insufficiently treatment defined as residual AHI of ≥ 5), therapy adherence (adherent vs. non-adherent, non-adherence defined as < 70% usage for ≥ 4 h/night), and therapy outcomes (optimal vs. non-optimal and non-optimal outcomes defined as non-adherent and/or insufficiently treated). We subsequently compared each group.
resultsThe insufficiently treated were older (68.4 ± 12.5 vs. 60.4 ± 13.1 years, p < 0.01) and had lower BMI (31.9 ± 6.3 vs. 37.9 ± 9.1 kg/m
conclusionsVarious demographic and clinical factors were associated with treatment efficacy and adherence. However, leak duration was the common factor related to treatment efficacy and overall optimal therapy outcomes.
