The Accuracy and Reliability of Visually Assessed Pharyngeal Opening Pressures During Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy.
Observational study in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
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
objectiveTo examine the accuracy and interrater reliability of a visually assessed vs airflow-based measure of pharyngeal collapsibility obtained in patients with obstructive sleep apnea undergoing drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). STUDY
designProspective observational study.
settingAcademic tertiary care practice.
methodsPatients underwent DISE with airflow monitoring and nasal positive airway pressure titration to determine visual and airflow-based levels of pharyngeal opening pressure (PhOP). Visual DISE-PhOP was assessed by 2 blinded independent raters and defined as the pressure at which visual confirmation of airway collapse, including snoring, was abolished. Airflow-based DISE-PhOP was defined as the minimally effective positive airway pressure that abolished inspiratory flow limitation. Equivalence testing between visual and airflow DISE-PhOP of each rater was performed with the two one sided T-test (TOST) with an a priori equivalence bound of ±1 cm H
resultsOne hundred patients were enrolled in the study and 77 completed the full evaluation. The population was predominantly male (74%) with an average age of 54.8 years, body mass index of 30.1 kg/m
conclusionDISE-PhOP, a measure of upper airway collapsibility, was equivalent between airflow-based and visual assessments with strong interrater reliability, supporting its adoption as a standardized objective parameter in clinical DISE.
