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

introductionIncreased pharyngeal collapsibility leads to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Positive airway pressure titration during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE-PAP) provides objective collapsibility metrics, the pharyngeal opening pressure (PhOP), and active pharyngeal critical pressure (Pcrit

methodsThis is a cross-sectional analysis of consecutive OSA patients undergoing DISE-PAP. Nasal PAP was increased stepwise until inspiratory flow limitation was abolished, signifying PhOP. Pcrit

resultsOn average, the 164 patients meeting inclusion criteria were middle-aged (54.2 ± 14.7 years), overweight/obese (BMI 29.9 ± 4.5 kg/m

conclusionObjective assessment of passive and active airway mechanics during DISE relates with clinical risk factors for OSA. Quantitative measures of collapsibility provide accessible and meaningful data, enhancing the standard sleep surgery evaluation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 134:1978-1985, 2024.
