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

objectivesTo systematically review long-term (> 5 years) outcomes of ESP surgery for OSA treatment over 17 years.

methodsSystemic review of MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and Evidence Based Medicine Reviews to identify publications relevant to OSA and Expansion Pharyngoplasty and its variants. All relevant studies published between January 2007 and June 2023 were included.

resultsTwelve studies were included in this systematic review with a combined total of 1373 patients who had the ESP procedure were included. The clinical outcomes included encouraging long-term success rate, reductions in Epworth sleepiness scale, good mean disease alleviation, anatomical structural area and volume improvements, blood pressure reductions, biochemical improvements in acute phase reactants after ESP surgery, reductions in intra-ocular pressures, and post-operative reduction of sympathetic overdrive.

conclusionsSeventeen years on, the expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty has demonstrated not only increase in anatomical area and volume but significant desired improvements in polysomnographic, clinical and biochemical parameters post-surgery.
