Safe use of donated positive airway pressure devices to increase access to treatment for obstructive sleep apnea: a clinical outreach program.
Article 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Coverage to provide positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and most private insurers is limited to those patients who meet diagnostic criteria for OSA based on a sleep study. Despite PAP therapy being a covered benefit by most insurers, many patients have high out-of-pocket costs due to copays and deductibles. Also, a subset of patients may be diagnosed per the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommended rule (H3A), while not meeting the diagnosis using the acceptable rule (H4) that their insurer requires.
