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
Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea occurs when primary obstructive sleep apnea improves with positive airway pressure treatment, but central events emerge or persist. Although documented with positive airway pressure and other treatment modalities, emergence of central sleep apnea has rarely been reported with hypoglossal nerve stimulation. In this case report, we present 2 patients who developed central apnea during hypoglossal nerve stimulator titration with emergence of central events at higher voltages. Central apneas resolved in both patients at follow-up when maintained at stable voltages; however, in 1 patient, central apnea recurred upon trialing higher voltages. These cases demonstrate that treatment-emergent sleep apnea can also be considered as a potential consequence of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with hypoglossal nerve stimulator.
