An Innovative Concept to Replace Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE): A Futuristic Approach to Assessment of Upper Airway Collapse in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) Patients During Normal Physiological Sleep at Home.

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
The collapsibility and dynamic phenomenon of the upper airway in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients during sleep is a complex mechanism. Its assessment prior to definitive surgery by drug-induced sleep endoscopy may mimic a snap shot of airway collapse during natural sleep. However, it still presents a shortcoming even after three decades of research and evolution in its technique. The hypothetical concept is to perform an overnight objective assessment of the upper airway collapsibility by the acoustic reflection technique in OSAS patients to decide the appropriate management plan.
