Influence of the device used for obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis on body position: a comparison between polysomnography and portable monitor.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeDifferent devices have been used for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which differ in the number of sensors used. The numerous sensors used in more complex sleep studies such as in-lab polysomnography may influence body position during sleep. We hypothesized that patients submitted to in-lab polysomnography (PSG) would spend more time in the supine position than patients submitted to an ambulatory Portable Monitor (PM) sleep study.
methodsBody position during PSG and PM studies was compared among two distinct groups of patients matched for age, body-mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and gender. Predictors of time spent in the supine position were determined using a multiple linear regression model.
resultsOf 478 participants who underwent either PSG or PM studies, mean age: 61[43-66] years; males: 43.9%; BMI: 28.4[26.1-31.1]kg/m
conclusionIn-lab PSG may increase time spent in the supine position and overestimate OSA severity compared to a PM sleep study. OSA diagnosis is also associated with increased time spent in the supine position. The potential influence on the sleeping position should be taken into account when choosing among the different sleep study types for OSA diagnosis.
