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
Purpose: Drug-induced sleep endoscopy with positive airway pressure titration (DISE-PAPT) can assess the effect of varying positive pressure levels on upper airway collapse in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) under simulated sleep condition. But it remains unclear whether DISE-PAPT can facilitate the development of personalized therapeutic interventions for OSA and further improve the therapeutic efficacy. Patients and Methods: We present three adult patients with severe OSA exhibiting distinct clinical profiles: one case of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment failure, one case of intolerance to high CPAP, and one case of psychological resistance to CPAP therapy. Results: According to the DISE-PAPT evaluation findings, CPAP combined with positional therapy was administered in Case 1. CPAP with surgical management was performed in Case 2, resulting in significant therapeutic improvements. Additionally, real-time DISE-PAPT visualization of CPAP-mediated upper airway patency restoration enhanced CPAP adherence in Case 3. Conclusion: The personalized treatment strategies based on the DISE-PAPT technique hold promise for improving the overall therapeutic efficacy and adherence among patients with OSA.
