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

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is traditionally diagnosed via Polysomnography (PSG), which relies on multiple wired sensors in an unfamiliar hospital setting. In this study, a compact home-sleep-test system is proposed, integrating a fringing-field capacitive sensor for wireless respiratory-effort monitoring system([Formula: see text], and a nasal airflow sensing system (2 cm×2 cm) with an connected 2 cm × 1 cm temperature sensor (both wired to the processing unit). A customized signal-processing algorithm was developed to denoise both channels and automatically identify apnea and hypopnea events. Validation with subjects (n = 31) demonstrated performance metrics (SN = 0.846, SP = 0.944, Precision = 0.917, and Accuracy = 0.903, [Formula: see text] ) in classifying OSA severity. By combining novel capacitive fringing-field sensing and temperature-based airflow measurement into a largely wireless wearable, a practical and accurate alternative to traditional PSG for at-home OSA detection is offered.
