Marketing factors associated with a continuous positive airway pressure machine purchasing in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Article in Future science OA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Aim: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related with several cardiovascular diseases. It should be treated with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. There is limited data on marketing factors on a decision of CPAP machine purchasing in OSA patients. Materials & methods: We enrolled adult patients aged over 18 years with OSA who tried a CPAP. Marketing factors were evaluated for a decision of CPAP machine purchasing. Results: There were 95 OSA patients participated in the study. Nice color CPAP machine and good knowledge and informative salesperson had adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 4.480 and 9.478, the other two factors had aOR at 0.102 and 0.217. Conclusion: Marketing factors related to CPAP machine purchasing in patients with OSA.
