Novel and modifiable factors associated with adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy initiated during stroke rehabilitation: An exploratory analysis of a prospective cohort study.
Article in Sleep medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02809430 (Maximizing Use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Stroke Rehabilitation Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/
backgroundContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of sleep apnea may improve stroke recovery but is limited by poor adherence. We evaluated baseline features and psychosocial factors associated with CPAP adherence among stroke patients enrolled in a pilot study of an intensive CPAP adherence protocol initiated during inpatient rehabilitation. PATIENTS/
methodsIn a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study, we compared participants adherent to CPAP (≥4 h for ≥70% of nights over 3 months) to non-adherent participants. Using mixed methods, we quantitatively compared baseline demographic and stroke-related factors associated with adherence and qualitatively compared facilitators and barriers to adherence.
resultsThere were 32 adherent and 20 non-adherent participants. Quantitative analysis revealed more severe stroke, aphasia and white race were associated with adherence. Adherent compared to non-adherent participants also had fewer early CPAP complaints, especially claustrophobia. In a thematic qualitative analysis, facilitators of adherence included improvement in sleep and stroke symptoms, confidence in CPAP use, and positive treatment expectations. Conversely, barriers to adherence included both potentially modifiable factors (lack of confidence in CPAP use, discomfort with a new health technology, and common CPAP-related complaints), and less modifiable factors (social stressors, sleep disturbance, and lack of home social support). DISCUSSION: Adherence programs for CPAP use after stroke should address modifiable barriers, with early desensitization to improve CPAP-related complaints and claustrophobia, and training to address perceived self-efficacy with CPAP. Future studies should explore individual goals and barriers associated with CPAP use among stroke survivors to improve long-term CPAP adherence. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02809430.
