AP Model: A Simple Tool to Predict Poor Long-Term PAP Adherence in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Article in OTO open. 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
Objective: To identify clinical and polysomnographic factors predicting poor long-term positive airway pressure (PAP) compliance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a Southeast Asian population and to develop a simple risk model applicable in routine practice. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand, from January 2012 to December 2022. Methods: Adult OSA patients aged 18 to 65 years prescribed PAP therapy were included. Adherence was objectively recorded from device downloads. Good adherence was defined as ≥4 hours per night on ≥70% of nights at 12 months. Logistic regression identified predictors of poor long-term adherence. Results: A total of 343 patients were enrolled; 253 had follow-up data at 12 months. Good adherence was observed in 47.8% of patients. In multivariate analysis, age < 50 years (odds ratio [OR] 1.92; 95% CI 1.01-3.67; Conclusion: Although predictors of PAP adherence have been described in Western populations, this study provides the first large data set from Thailand. The AP model, while simple, is pragmatic and easily applied in resource-limited settings. Prospective, multicenter validation across Southeast Asia is warranted to enhance its generalizability and incorporate modifiable predictors.
