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
STUDY
objectivesThis paper reports on the multicentric validation of a novel FDA-cleared home sleep apnea test based on peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT HSAT).
methodsOne hundred sixty-seven participants suspected of having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were included in a multicentric cohort. All patients underwent simultaneous polysomnography (PSG) and PAT HSAT, and all PSG data were independently double scored using both the recommended 1A rule for hypopnea, requiring a 3% desaturation or arousal (3% Rule), and the acceptable 1B rule for hypopnea, requiring a 4% desaturation (4% Rule). The double-scoring of PSG enabled a comparison of the agreement between PAT HSAT and PSG to the inter-rater agreement of PSG. Clinical endpoint parameters were selected to evaluate the device's ability to determine the OSA severity category. Finally, a correction for near-boundary apnea-hypopnea index values was proposed to adequately handle the inter-rater variability of the PSG benchmark.
resultsFor both the 3% and the 4% Rules, most endpoint parameters showed a close agreement with PSG. The 4-way OSA severity categorization accuracy of PAT HSAT was strong, but nevertheless lower than the inter-rater agreement of PSG (70% vs 77% for the 3% Rule and 78% vs 81% for the 4% Rule).
conclusionsThis paper reported on a multitude of robust endpoint parameters, in particular OSA severity categorization accuracies, while also benchmarking clinical performances against double-scored PSG. This study demonstrated strong agreement of PAT HSAT with PSG. The results of this study also suggest that different brands of PAT HSAT may have distinct clinical performance characteristics.
