Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Comorbid Neuromuscular Disorders.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is an effective surgical treatment for many patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are unable to tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. Patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD) are particularly vulnerable to more complex sleep-related breathing disorders due to respiratory muscle weakness and the associated risk of hypoventilation. In this study, we present five patients with myasthenia gravis (n = 2), muscular dystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, and advanced multiple sclerosis who underwent HGNS therapy for OSA. At time of surgery, the mean patient age was 54 ± 18.7 years and mean BMI was 24.6 ± 4.6 kg/m
