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

Objectives: We evaluated the continuity and effectiveness of oral appliances (OAs) for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a psychiatric sleep clinic, specifically focusing on mild cases and those with psychiatric comorbidity. Methods: We retrospectively examined the medical records of 106 OSA patients treated with OA. Survival analysis was performed to assess the discontinuation of OA use. Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scale were obtained from medical records. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), measured by polysomnography (PSG), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were compared between diagnosis and after post-OA treatment if a second PSG for efficacy assessment was conducted. Results: Among all 106 patients, Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated a discontinuation rate of 16.8% at 1 year. This tended to be higher for OSA patients with psychiatric comorbidity (22.7%) than those without (11.6%), though it was not statistically significant ( Conclusion: OA continuation was relatively good, and sleepiness was relieved by OA use, even in mild OSA patients and those with psychiatric comorbidity. However, the continuation and subjective improvement of symptoms were slightly lower in OSA patients with psychiatric comorbidity.
