Non-CPAP Therapies for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults.
Review in Missouri medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a widespread sleep disorder characterized by repeated collapse of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in disruption of sleep. This condition is linked to a host of symptoms, including excessive daytime sleepiness, cardiovascular disorders, and a variety of other comorbidities. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is, by far, the most common treatment for OSA, and has long served as the standard treatment for most patients. However, CPAP therapy has a variety of limitations, including low adherence, and the heterogenous presentation of OSA. Thus, there exists an increasing need for alternative therapies for OSA. Some of these include lifestyle modifications, positional therapy, mandibular advancement devices, upper airway surgery, pharmacological therapies, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation. Because OSA presents heterogeneously, effective treatment for most patients would likely include a combination of these treatments.
