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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of mandibular advancement splint (MAS) therapy on cardiac autonomic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis.

methodsElectrocardiograms (ECG) derived from polysomnograms (PSG) of three prospective studies were used to study HRV of patients with OSA before and after MAS treatment. HRV parameters were averaged across the entire ECG signal during N2 sleep using 2-min epochs shifted by 30 s. Paired t-tests were used to compare PSG and HRV measures before and after treatment, and the percent change in HRV measures was regressed on the percent change in apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI).

resultsIn 101 patients with OSA, 72% were Caucasian, 54% men, the mean age was 56 ± 11 years, BMI 29.8 ± 5.3 kg/m

conclusionThe study findings suggest that successful MAS treatment correlates with changes in HRV, specifically the lengthening of NN intervals, a marker for improved cardiac autonomic adaptability.
