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

STUDY

objectivesSupine-predominant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent. The proportion of time spent in the supine position may be overrepresented during polysomnography, which would impact on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and have important clinical implications. We aimed to investigate the difference in body position during laboratory or home polysomnography compared to habitual sleep and estimate its effect on OSA severity. Secondary aims were to evaluate the consistency of habitual sleeping position and accuracy of self-reported sleeping position.

methodsPatients undergoing diagnostic laboratory or home polysomnography were recruited. Body position was recorded using a neck-worn device. Habitual sleeping position was the average time spent supine over 3 consecutive nights at home. Primary outcomes were the proportion of sleep time spent supine (% time supine) and AHI adjusted for habitual sleeping position.

resultsFifty-seven patients who underwent laboratory polysomnography and 56 who had home polysomnography were included. Compared to habitual sleep, % time supine was higher during laboratory polysomnography (mean difference 14.1% [95% confidence interval: 7.2-21.1];

conclusionsMore time was spent in the supine position during polysomnography compared to habitual sleep, which may overestimate OSA severity for almost one-third of patients with supine-predominant OSA. CLINICAL
