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
purposesTo evaluate whether mandibular advancement device therapy is recommended in patients affected by obstructive sleep apnea.
methodsIn order to predict oral appliances therapy response, drug induced sleep endoscopy with cardio-respiratory polygraphy and mandibular advancement device simulator was carried out. Patients in which upper airway obstruction was resolved on all levels and AHI was normalized (< 5/h), were referred for oral appliance therapy. At 5 months follow up, a cardio-respiratory polygraphy with MAD was performed.
results36 patients who have evidence of resolution of UA collapse and AHI below 5 events per hour, were referred for MAD therapy. At follow up, the mean AHI decreased from 29.1 ± 13.1 to 3.3/h ± 1.9 (p < 0.001). All the patients were responders.
conclusionCombining the evaluation of drug induced sleep endoscopy and cardio-respiratory polygraphy data simultaneously during mandibular protrusion, has the potential to be a useful tool for prediction of MAD therapy response.
