Seasonal changes in positive airway pressure adherence.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Through their effects on sleep duration, bedroom environments, and pollen allergies, seasonal variations may impact positive airway pressure (PAP) adherence. We analyzed daily PAP telemonitoring data from 25,846 adults (median age 64 years, 67.8% male) treated with PAP for at least 4 months [mean (standard deviation, SD) duration of PAP: 5.5 years (SD 4.1)] to examine seasonal changes in PAP adherence, leaks, and residual apnea-hypopnea index. We demonstrate a significant decrease in PAP adherence in June compared to January (mean (SD): 0.37 (1.54) h/night) that achieved the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 30 min in 13.9% of adults. Furthermore, we provide novel data supporting the association of rising temperatures with seasonal changes in PAP use. Indeed, the most pronounced decline in PAP adherence was observed during the hottest days, while PAP adherence was only slightly reduced during the coolest days of June. Clinicians should be aware of seasonal changes in PAP adherence that are likely to be exacerbated by climate change.
