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

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) has emerged as a successful surgical treatment strategy for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea in patients failing first-line positive airway pressure therapy. HGNS explantation due to adverse events such as pain and infection is rare and has yet to be well described. Here, our correspondence describes the first case series of patients who have undergone explantation of the Inspire HGNS system. Five patients were identified who underwent HGNS explantation. Three patients underwent explantation due to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) incompatibility. One patient underwent explantation due to poor cosmesis. One patient underwent explantation due to surgical site infection. Average operative explant time was 163 minutes. MRI incompatibility, poor cosmesis, and device-related infection are reasons for HGNS explantation. Future need for MRI or chest wall surgery should be considered in patients being evaluated for HGNS implants.
