Educational video demonstrating collapsibility of the upper airway during sleep improves initial acceptance of CPAP in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea: a retrospective study.

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
STUDY
objectivesWe investigated whether an audiovisual educational video demonstrating collapsibility of the upper airway during sleep would influence initial continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) acceptance among patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea.
methodsBetween January 2017 and December 2018, a single-center retrospective study was conducted. We implemented an educational video demonstrating upper airway collapsibility during sleep in February 2018. We analyzed the medical records from 145 consecutive patients diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea who underwent in-laboratory polysomnography both before and after implementing the educational video. Among them, 76 patients received standard care before the video's introduction (standard care group), and another 69 patients were managed after its implementation (video group).
resultsBaseline characteristics including age, body mass index, educational level, occupation category, comorbidities, Mallampati score, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, apnea-hypopnea index, and sleep time with SpO
conclusionsAmong patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea, an educational video demonstrating upper airway collapsibility during sleep improved initial CPAP acceptance rates when compared with standard care.
