The Prevalence of Sentinel Central Events (SCent) During Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy.
Article in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveWith the recent addition of airflow and respiratory effort channels, our group has observed central and mixed apnea events during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). We measured the frequency and timing of sentinel central and/or mixed events (SCents), as well as assessed for differences in velum, oropharynx, tongue, and epiglottis (VOTE) classification compared to obstructive events. STUDY
designProspective single-cohort study.
settingTertiary Care Academic Medical Center.
methodsPatients underwent DISE between June 2020 and November 2022. Nasal airflow, thoracoabdominal effort belt signals, and videoendoscopy were simultaneously captured. Demographics, sleep study, and DISE data were compared among patients with and without SCents using Student's T tests or χ
resultsOn average, the cohort (n = 103) was middle-aged (53.5 ± 12.1 years), overweight (body mass index of 29.7 ± 5.3 kg/m
conclusionCentral events were present in almost half of our cohort. At least 95% of patients were expected to transition to obstructive events within 12 to 13 minutes of propofol initiation. In addition, over half of patients demonstrate significantly different VOTE scores between central and obstructive events. These factors should raise awareness of central events and scoring passive apneas during DISE and consider delaying VOTE scoring.
