Physiologic and anatomic determinants of hyoid motion during drug-induced sleep endoscopy.
Article in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposeTo examine factors accounting for differences in hyoid motion during obstructive breathing events amongst obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.
methodsThis was a prospective cohort study from June 2022 to October 2022. Patients with OSA undergoing evaluation for PAP alternative therapies with drug-induced sleep endoscopy with positive airway pressure titration (DISE-PAP). All patients underwent DISE-PAP and concurrent hyoid-focused ultrasound. DISE-PAP enabled measurement of airway physiology (flow, respiratory effort) and airway collapsibility (pharyngeal opening pressure, PhOP). Hyoid-ultrasound enabled hyoid bone movement during obstructive breathing. Respiratory effort was measured using a retro-epiglottic pressure-sensitive catheter. Hyoid position was measured using a standardized, awake, CT protocol. Regression analyses adjusted for age, race, sex, and BMI were performed to associate indices of respiratory effort and CT data with hyoid motion.
resultsOn average, the 26 patients in this cohort were older (63.9 ± 10.5 years), male (69%), overweight (29.6 ± 3.99 kg/m
conclusionOur data demonstrate that greater respiratory effort, higher hyoid position, and higher airway collapsibility, but not airflow, are associated with greater hyoid motion during obstructive breathing in DISE. These findings suggest that downward hyoid movement represents a compensatory response to upper airway obstruction. Further studies should investigate the vectors of hyoid motion to better understand its role in sleep-related airway collapse.
