1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe study aims to determine whether respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) signals can be used to quantify changes in ventilation and provide advanced obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity metrics. This approach seeks to address limitations in current airflow-based OSA measures, particularly those relying on nasal pressure, which may be compromised by oral breathing.

methodsAdult patients with OSA (N = 89, 68Male:21Female) completed in-laboratory polysomnography (PSG) allowing for RIP-based ventilation estimates to be compared against a gold standard oronasal-pneumotach (normalized ventilation %

resultsFor individual breaths (N = 495,631), RIP correction reduced overestimation bias for small breaths from 12 to 2%

conclusionRIP signals, with appropriate processing, enable quantification of advanced ventilation-based OSA metrics, addressing concerns that airflow-based measures may be affected by breathing route.
