Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Findings and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Therapy Outcomes.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hypoglossal-nerve stimulation (HGNS) is an established second-line therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Existing studies investigating the effect of preoperative drug-induced sleep endoscopic (DISE) findings on HGNS outcomes have mainly focused on the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) among polysomnography (PSG) parameters, and have less frequently tested other PSG parameters such as the apnea index (AI), hypopnea index (HI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), snoring index, and arousal index, or patient-reported excessive daytime sleepiness. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between DISE findings and the above-mentioned metrics after HGNS therapy. We only included patients with DISE findings providing detailed information about the degree of the anteroposterior velar (APV), oropharyngeal lateral wall (OPLW), or tongue-base (BT) obstruction based on the velum, oropharynx, base of tongue, and epiglottis (VOTE) classification. The data of 25 patients (9 female (36%)) were retrospectively evaluated. The mean age at the date of implantation was 54.52 ± 9.61 years, and the mean BMI was 29.99 ± 3.97 kg/m
