Trial reportSleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung2025
Using short video-based educational intervention to enhance initial acceptance to continuous positive pressure therapy in Thai obstructive sleep apnea patients in a tertiary care: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 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
purposeObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent condition associated with decreased quality of life and increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the gold standard treatment, particularly in moderate to severe OSA. Its effectiveness depends on patient adherence, with compliance rates ranging from 46 to 83%. Various strategies, including education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and supportive care, aim to improve CPAP adherence. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a low-cost, time-efficient video-based educational intervention to enhance CPAP compliance.
methodsPatients diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA or mild OSA who fulfilled the indication for CPAP therapy in Siriraj Hospital between December 1st, 2022, and May 31st, 2023, age ≥ 18 years, were randomized into the three-minute video intervention group, based on Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, and usual care group using a simple random sampling method. Demographics, Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores (ESS), polysomnographic data, and CPAP usage were recorded.
resultsOf the 132 subjects in this study, the majority were male, with an average age of 50 and comparable body mass index (BMI) and baseline ESS in both groups. We found a significantly higher percentage meeting the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) criteria for adherence in the video education group (68.2%, vs. 50%; p = 0.034) compared to the usual care group. Moreover, in our post-hoc analysis, higher education years and lower BMI were associated with better CPAP adherence.
conclusionOur data demonstrated a promising result of using a short-formed video education intervention to enhance CPAP usage in OSA patients. Longer-term studies with a larger population would provide more reliable outcomes. This trial was retrospectively registered with Thaiclinicaltrials.org. The trial registration number (TRN) was TCTR20240619006, and the registration date is 18 June 2024.
